On Friday, September 23, NeighborWorks America announced
$3.65 million in grant funding specifically designed for nonprofits to increase
their services for underserved communities by expanding the geographic reach of
programs that have already been successfully established.
NeighborWorks America
hopes this grant funding will help agencies with a track record of successful
programs bring their initiatives to even more communities in need. Among the 25
organizations receiving grant funds are two Minnesota-based agencies: Southwest
Minnesota Housing Partnership and Dayton’s Bluff Neighborhood Housing Services.
The Southwest Minnesota
Housing Partnership works to provide a sufficient supply of adequate, safe, sanitary and affordable
dwellings for the people of southwestern Minnesota and is a member of the
Center’s Homeownership Advisor’s Network.
Dayton’s Bluff Neighborhood Housing Services provides owner-occupied rehab lending and
construction management, homeownership education counseling, financial entry
assistance, purchase-rehab-resale and new construction. Both of these
organizations are making valuable contributions towards enabling successful
homeownership for residents of Minnesota.
Congratulations to both organizations on receiving a
NeighborWorks America grant to continue and expand your good work!
