The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) is offering funding through its Housing Grant Program to support initiatives that expand access to quality housing across the state. The program aims to strengthen Wisconsin’s communities by improving housing options for low- and moderate-income residents through new construction, property rehabilitation, and adaptive improvements. By supporting innovative projects that address local housing needs, WHEDA seeks to foster inclusive growth and enhance the overall livability of Wisconsin’s towns, cities, and rural areas. Grant funds may be used for a variety of development-related activities. Eligible uses include new construction, building or site acquisition, rehabilitation of existing properties, and modifications to improve handicapped accessibility. The program also supports building conversions or additions that increase the number of housing units available. Projects may range from revitalizing underused buildings to creating entirely new housing developments designed to meet local demand. However, funds cannot be used for activities such as feasibility studies, market analyses, down payment assistance, ongoing operational expenses, or costs incurred before the grant award date. Eligibility for this program extends to nonprofit organizations and cooperatives organized under Wisconsin Statutes Chapters 181, 185, or 187, as well as community development authorities, housing authorities, local governments, and Native American tribal authorities. Nonprofits and cooperatives must be in good standing with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions at the time of application. The program is designed to ensure equitable access, but applicants that have received consecutive grants in 2021, 2022, and 2023 are not eligible for the 2024 cycle, though they may reapply in 2025. Additionally, organizations with outstanding final reports from prior awards will not be considered until reporting is completed. Each grant is intended to support projects that can be completed within a one-year timeframe. WHEDA emphasizes accountability and sustainability in project delivery, requiring applicants to demonstrate that their initiatives will be completed efficiently and will have a measurable, positive impact on local housing outcomes. Projects should align with WHEDA’s mission to promote economic development through affordable, stable, and inclusive housing opportunities that benefit residents statewide. Through this grant program, WHEDA continues to invest in the long-term strength of Wisconsin communities by empowering local organizations to address pressing housing challenges. By funding efforts that enhance accessibility, preserve affordability, and stimulate economic activity through housing development, WHEDA reaffirms its commitment to ensuring that every Wisconsin resident has a place to call home.

The Washington State Department of Commerce is offering a grant program for affordable housing projects in its 2024 funding cycle, specifically targeting Homeownership projects. This Notice of Funding Availability and Solicitation (NOFA) aims to increase the affordable housing stock in Washington State by supporting applicants who create affordable housing units or undertake related activities. While the prompt asks for "foundation mission alignment" and "foundation's strategic priorities and theory of change," the provided information is from a government department, not a foundation. Therefore, I will align with the department's implicit mission of increasing affordable housing and its strategic approach to achieve this. The target beneficiaries of this grant are individuals and families seeking affordable homeownership in Washington State. The impact goals are to increase the availability of affordable housing stock and support various pathways to homeownership. The program prioritizes new construction projects, down payment assistance (DPA), and affordability subsidies. The Department of Commerce aims to facilitate the distribution of funds across the state by grouping projects into three geographic categories: Rural, King County, and Urban (not King County), with 30% of funds allocated to rural areas, demonstrating a strategic focus on equitable access across different regions. The grant program focuses on several key areas for applications, including down payment assistance, revolving loan funds (RLF), self-help projects, short-term production loans, and affordability subsidies for long-term or permanent affordable resale restricted programs like Community Land Trusts. This broad approach allows for diverse project types that contribute to affordable homeownership. The expected outcomes include a measurable increase in affordable housing units and greater access to homeownership opportunities for residents of Washington State. The measurable results will be tracked by the number of new affordable housing units created and the number of individuals or families assisted through various program types. The maximum award per homeownership project is $4 million for new construction and $2 million for DPA and affordability subsidies, indicating a significant investment in achieving these outcomes. The department's theory of change appears to be that by providing financial assistance and supporting various models of affordable homeownership, they can directly address the housing affordability crisis and increase the overall supply of affordable homes, thereby improving economic stability and community well-being across the state.

The Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation's 2024 Community Impact Grant Cycle invites proposals to support organizations making a significant difference in the Tahoe Basin. The foundation's mission, though not explicitly detailed in this description, is clearly aligned with fostering community well-being and addressing critical needs within the Nevada and California areas of the Tahoe Basin. By offering grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, with a specific request amount up to $20,000, the foundation aims to empower eligible non-profits to enhance their services and achieve measurable community impact. The primary target beneficiaries are the residents and communities of the Tahoe Basin. Organizations seeking funding must directly provide more than 50% of their services in this region, ensuring that the grants directly benefit local populations. The impact goals are broad, focusing on various community needs that align with the non-profit's mission, as long as they are not among the excluded activities. The foundation seeks to support initiatives that contribute to a stronger, more vibrant Tahoe community, although specific impact metrics are not detailed in this overview. The foundation prioritizes supporting tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charities or schools that have held their tax-exempt status for at least two years and are incorporated in good standing in Nevada or California. A key focus is on direct service provision within the Tahoe Basin. The grants are not awarded for direct religious activity, political lobbying, special event sponsorships, pass-through funding, or reimbursement of prior expenses. This careful delineation of exclusions highlights the foundation's strategic intent to fund direct, impactful, and non-duplicative community services. While specific strategic priorities and a detailed theory of change are not outlined, the grant cycle implicitly emphasizes strengthening local non-profits and their capacity to serve. The expected outcomes are improved community conditions and enhanced services for Tahoe Basin residents, facilitated by the financial support provided. The measurable results are tied to the successful implementation of projects by the funded organizations, though the specific reporting requirements for these results are not included in this description.
