Strategic Initiative: Housing Affordability
Our Goal: For everyone to have a stable place to call home in a neighborhood that is safe and close to where they work, go to school, or find community.
We all want to live in communities where everyone is thriving, and yet the lack of affordable housing in the Triangle is affecting many of our neighbors’ ability to do just that. Recognizing that a community foundation has tools uniquely suited to support the preservation and expansion of more affordable housing, Triangle Community Foundation is dedicating resources to this challenging issue.
We are partnering with strong nonprofits, fellow funders, and others who bring expertise and complementary resources to make more housing more affordable for more people.
Our Theory of Change: We have been developing a coordinated, focused approach leveraging our core strengths of strategic grantmaking, convening, and philanthropic leadership to catalyze regional collaboration and increased investment in safe, stable housing.
Our inaugural group of 15 grantees were collectively awarded $375,000 in one-year general operating support grants.
