In the coming days, we will be discussing the specific asks that Habitat will be making for increased funding for affordable housing in FY25 as well as how to contact your representative to support your local affiliate. Ask 2: HOME HOME is an Investment Partnerships Program. HOME provides formula grants to states and localities that communities use, often in partnership with local nonprofit groups. HOME is used to fund a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership as well as providing direct rental assistance to those who are considered low-income. HOME is the largest federal block grant to state and local governments designed exclusively to provide affordable housing for low- or limited-income households. THE ASK: HOME to be funded at $2.5B in FY25.

A lesson we can learn from our Northern neighbors. In an effort to combat the affordable housing crisis exacerbated by high rents, non-profits in Ontario, including Places for People in Haliburton County, are adopting a new financing method: community bonds.

Potential good news for business owners in mid-low income communities! According to a CUInsight.com piece, last fall, the Department of the Treasury updated key standards and reforms to the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund giving more credit unions the ability to become CDFIs - providing another secure financial resource for underserved communities. These new requirements can assist local credit unions with attaining CDFI status thus giving credit unions the ability to take action on community development in distressed and underserved communities while opening access to other federal, state and local governmental resources as well as charitable, and private sector investments. More credit unions with CDFI designation may help in expanding access to funding, financial services and resources for underserved small- and microbusinesses.
