The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is offering the Rural Capacity Building program, a grant designed to enhance the capacity and ability of various entities to foster community development and affordable housing in rural areas. This grant is for the purpose of funding national organizations with expertise in rural housing and community development. These organizations, in turn, empower local governments, Indian tribes, housing development organizations, rural Community Development Corporations (CDCs), and Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). The ultimate goal is to facilitate effective community development and affordable housing initiatives that directly benefit low- and moderate-income families and individuals residing in rural communities across the nation.
