Housing

The Foundation supports projects that create housing or renovate existing units to provide and maintain affordable and quality options that offer services to help people remain stably housed. Projects should be integrated into the broader community and must incorporate supportive services. Priority is given to projects that add new units of housing into a community.

Here are a few examples of appropriate projects:

• Affordable housing for older adults, including services that allow residents to age independently, within their communities, and with maximum quality of life.
• Permanent supportive housing serving people exiting homelessness. Project details must include the types of services offered, as well as a focus on financial management and job training and career development.
• Affordable housing that meets the needs of veterans, young adults with developmental disabilities, those escaping domestic violence, and other vulnerable populations.

The Foundation supports programs that allow people to secure or sustain permanent housing within their communities by providing comprehensive services that meet a range of social, economic, and health needs.

Here are a few examples of appropriate projects:

• Aging in community programs that allow older adults to age independently and with maximum quality of life. Specifically, programs may include home modification and repair, which can also be used as a platform for delivery of a variety of services.
• Rapid Re-Housing programs for families, youth, veterans and others who have experienced homelessness. These programs include case management, limited financial assistance, and job services and career development.
• Independent living, including supportive services that allow young adults with disabilities to live in the least restrictive environment possible, within their community.
