Office
of Housing Advocacy
Program
Overview
The purpose of the Office of Housing Advocacy (OHA) Non-Profit Performance
Grant Program is to build and expand the capacity of nonprofit organizations
to develop affordable housing. The program provides operating support
and technical assistance to 501(c)3 organizations that can demonstrate
the capacity to create and maintain a consistent production pipeline
of affordable housing.
·
The OHA Non-Profit Performance Grant Program is a production-oriented
program. Grantees are expected to work toward expanding their housing
production capacity.
·
Grantees are expected to achieve and maintain a level of production
that will make an impact on their target neighborhood or target
population.
·
Grantees are evaluated each year on organizational capacity, proposed
production (pipeline) and production achieved. New grantees will
be given two years to meet the criteria established for continued
funding.
·
OHA rewards grantees for achieving significant levels of production.
Each grantee receives a base grant amount to support professional
housing production staff and bonuses for each unit brought to market.
(for up to 46 units per year)
