About affordable housing grants

Affordable housing grants help nonprofits build, rehabilitate, and preserve homes for low- and moderate-income households. Federal funding flows mainly through HUD programs such as HOME Investment Partnerships, the Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP), and Community Development Block Grants, with additional support from state housing finance agencies and capacity-building intermediaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for affordable housing?

Affordable housing funding supports land acquisition, new construction, rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, and infrastructure for income-qualified housing. HUD's HOME program is the largest federal block grant focused exclusively on affordable housing, while SHOP funds sweat-equity homeownership and CDBG dollars support a range of housing and community-development activities.

Does HUD fund affordable housing projects?

Yes. HUD is the leading federal funder of affordable housing, primarily through HOME Investment Partnerships and Community Development Block Grants distributed to states and local governments, which then fund nonprofit developers. HUD also funds national and regional nonprofits directly through the Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program for volunteer- and sweat-equity-based homeownership.

Who else funds affordable housing nonprofits?

State housing finance agencies (including Low-Income Housing Tax Credit allocations), the Federal Home Loan Banks' Affordable Housing Program, and intermediaries such as LISC, Enterprise Community Partners, and NeighborWorks America are major sources. Banks pursuing community-reinvestment goals and local community foundations also fund affordable housing development.
