The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded $10 million in capacity-building grants to five national nonprofit 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 hard-working, low-income families and individuals.
Funded through HUD's Rural Capacity-Building for Affordable Housing and Community Development (RCB) grant, these national intermediary organizations will support local eligible beneficiaries to spur affordable housing activities and community development in some of America's hardest hit rural communities. These national organizations will provide training, technical assistance, and financial support to these local beneficiaries, helping them serve hundreds of low-income or low- and moderate-income families and persons in rural areas.
"The RCB program demonstrates the importance of public and private partnerships to help our rural communities across America meet critical housing and community development needs," said HUD Secretary Ben Carson.
"Whether developing important organizational infrastructure, stimulating job creation, or strengthening small businesses, these grants help inspire public and private investment in rural areas that need resources to thrive. HUD is pleased to empower rural communities struggling to address economic uncertainty and unprecedented challenges," said HUD Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development John Gibbs.
