This discretionary funding opportunity aims to support Community Action Agencies (CAAs) and tribes in providing comprehensive services to residents of affordable housing units.

    To be eligible, applicants must be Community Action Agencies or tribes funded under the Community Services Block Grant in FY2024, and they must own affordable housing units. Eligible organizations should be prepared to provide additional eligibility documentation. Individuals and foreign entities are not eligible for this funding opportunity.
