2017 Request for Funding through Capacity Building Initiative

We will provide up to $40,000 in one-time funding for projects that increase efficiencies within organizations, build the knowledge base of organizations to better meet community housing needs, create efficiencies in the cost of development or organizational operation, or that provide the necessary groundwork to add or increase services.   

This funding source is not available for:

• General operating support
• Direct housing services including affordability gap assistance
• Direct housing development costs
• Organizations with missions that fall outside the housing and community development arena
• Lobbying or other direct political activities
• Activities for which the applicant already receives technical assistance or operating support funding from Minnesota Housing including the CHDO capacity building program

After submitting your request, you will receive a confirmation email within one business day. If you do not receive an email, please contact Rachel Franco at rachel.franco@state.mn.us.
