Over the past 50 years, the Community Development Block Grant program has significantly improved community well-being. Since 1974, HUD has issued over $160 billion in grants, helping meet the housing needs of 1.9 million households between 2005 and 2023. Beyond the numbers, CDBG has driven tangible change, from rehabilitating homes to improving infrastructure, helping build stronger, healthier communities nationwide.

Couldn't agree more. So many doors shut that we can open or start to open by simply scrutinizing tenant selection plans which we too often assume are sound and working for people when, too often, they include onerous application processes and requirements beyond what funding, insurance or context requires that in turn end up explicitly or organically screening out good tenants with the greatest need for immediate, stable housing. Lowering barriers and increasing access requires us to continuously scrutinize our own system, agency and project policies, practices and assumptions. If you haven't looked at your TSP(s) lately this looks to be a great session to get started on that. And if you're a CoC lead, consider making this a collaborative review and improvement process with residents, providers, and our PHA and affordable housing partners to clean out the gunk in your local TSPs, now that there's something of a breather next year CoC competition-wise.
In our upcoming #webinar, learn how to create alternative screening methods that promote #equity and better serve people with justice-system involvement. We'll introduce our Model Tenant Selection Plan and companion tools that help reduce barriers to housing. Learn about best practices from our work in Virginia, Michigan, and Nevada. Plus, hear from our partners at the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA).

Our recent work involves exploring new and adaptive reuses of faith-based institutions. This story explores some of the challenges and opportunities of transitioning church properties. Churches can respond to community needs and local planning goals through the development and programming of their properties, including affordable housing, social services, and valued public spaces. However, as churches pivot to non-religious activities, they face new procedures, regulatory obligations, and public scrutiny. Cities that plan ahead can ensure that church property transitions successfully navigate evolving church service missions, planning procedures, and neighborhood impacts while making the most of community development opportunities.

It is AMAZING how many landlords (including large affordable housing ones) are using recycled tenant selection plans they picked up like hand-me-down clothes. They are dated and poorly considered and do an awful job of anything except cutting out good potential tenants. Attend this FREE WEBINAR and learn from my tremendous colleagues and their partners at Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) about how easy it is to do better!
