Description of the need for the

The grant program looks to deliver
measurable outcomes by awarding

rate among historically underserved
communities and stop or reverse the
increasing homeownership gap resulting
from the effects of the COVID–19
pandemic and resulting shortage of
affordable homes within those
communities. These agencies will
provide targeted counseling, outreach to
members of their communities as well
as seek partnerships with other agencies
to help individuals and families achieve
sustainable homeownership, no matter
their race, ethnicity, disability status, or
other protected class.
