Section 4 Funding   Colorado Rural Rental Housing Preservation Academy

Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge 

Enterprise is a proven and powerful nonprofit that improves communities and people’s lives by making well-designed homes affordable. We bring together nationwide know-how, partners, policy leadership and investment to multiply the impact of local affordable housing development. We foster community improvement from the ground up: well-designed, affordable homes connected to resources like health care, schools, jobs and transportation. So that people have the opportunities to reach their full potential.

 

"This is my home, and I have no intentions of leaving." In our 2018 ANNUAL REPORT, meet more people like Ms. Grace who live in neighborhoods where Enterprise creates opportunity.


We work to strengthen community-based organizations advancing our shared mission. In most instances, we award grants through a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process. We don’t gather grant application information by email or phone. Our grant process also does not involve providing sensitive personal information such as Social Security number, birth date or bank account information.

Below is a description of current grant opportunities available to community-based organizations. 

Colorado Rural Rental Housing Preservation Academy - Call For Applicants

Our new Colorado Rural Rental Housing Preservation Academy begins in April 2020 – a series of no-cost trainings and peer learning sessions designed to help rural housing providers acquire and/or preserve USDA Rural Development (RD), HUD, LIHTC, and other restricted rental housing in rural Colorado. Offered by Enterprise Community Partners, Colorado Health Foundation, Fannie Mae, the Academy will be open to existing owner/operators interested in preserving rental assistance (RA) in their properties, or parties interested in acquisition for the purpose of preservation of RA and the affordability of the units. Through this call for applications nonprofit participants and housing authorities will be awarded no-cost targeted one-on-one technical assistance to support their efforts for preservation as well as travel stipends to participate in the Academy sessions.

Applications for the academy will be available October 1, 2019.

HUD Capacity Building (Section 4) Grants

One of Enterprise’s primary sources of grant funding is the HUD Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Program, commonly referred to as Section 4. Since Congressional authorization in 1993, the program has helped low-income families and neighborhoods in more than 2,000 urban and rural communities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

These funds are used to build capacity in nonprofit community development organizations – Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) and Community Development Corporations (CDCs) – that meet eligibility requirements. Building capacity strengthens organizations to help them successfully:

  • Implement HUD programs
  • Design, finance and execute community development and affordable housing projects
  • Coordinate on cross-programmatic, place-based approaches
  • Facilitate knowledge sharing

To learn more about the Section 4 program, see Enterprise's blog.
