Affordable Housing Request for Proposals
Following the
completion of its strategic planning
process in 2007, the Foundation made a
small number of multi-year grants to
community-based nonprofit housing
producers under its Geographically -
Targeted Affordable Housing strategy.
Grants support a selected group of
nonprofit housing developers to increase
the number of affordable housing units
produced through the construction and/or
rehabilitation of affordable-housing
developments within certain geographic
areas. These grants were
renewed in 2009.
In 2010, the
Foundation will make, through a special
Request for Proposals (RFP) process, a
small number of additional grants to
community-based nonprofit housing
organizations to increase the number of
affordable housing units and to address
clusters of foreclosed in neighborhoods
that have been hard hit by the
foreclosure crisis. Responses to
the RFP have already been received and
will be considered at an upcoming
meeting of the board of trustees.
Any questions about this process may be
directed to Angela Brown at
