PROGRAM ON HUMAN AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Grants Authorized 2005
Because stable and affordable housing is critical to creating vibrant communities, MacArthur supports the following three efforts:
-
“Window of Opportunity,” which is a $75 million initiative to facili-tate new ownership and preservation of affordable rental housing; to call atten-tion to the importance of rental housing; and to stimulate new policies that preserve and expand the nation’s stock of affordable rental units.
-
Grants, loans, and other activities that advance public housing transformation, which is creating new mixed-income communities of opportunity for thousands of Chicago families.
-
Housing policy research that focuses on stable and affordable housing as an essential ingredient in successful human and community development.
