HUD AWARDS $10 MILLION IN CAPACITY BUILDING GRANTS FOR RURAL AMERICA

摘要

HUD has awarded $10 million in capacity-building grants to five national non-profit organizations which will, in turn, fund rural housing development organizations, Community Development Corporations (CDCs), Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), local governments, and Indian tribes (eligible beneficiaries) to carry out affordable housing and community development activities in rural areas for low-income families and individuals. Funded through HUD's Rural Capacity-Building for Affordable Housing and Community Development grant (RCB), these intermediary organizations will support local eligible beneficiaries to spur affordable housing activities and community development. These organizations will provide training, technical assistance, and financial support to local beneficiaries, helping them serve hundreds of low-income or low- and moderate-income families and persons in rural areas.
