FAITH-BASED INITIATIVES
Washington, DC Faith-Based Initiative originated from the simple idea that our best chance to overcome a community’s deepest problems is to tackle them from within, by welcoming those community partners who truly know how to change lives and entire communities.
As an active leader in the Initiative, HUD has set the standard in policy reforms that welcome organizations rooted in the community. We are leveling the playing field for these organizations, affording them the opportunity to effect an even greater change in neighborhoods across America. These policy changes have allowed faith-based and community organizations to make a unique impact in the lives of society’s most vulnerable citizens, channeling America’s compassion in new directions.
The Center has been producing results in its outreach to potential participants, its regulatory reform efforts, and its responsiveness to faith-based and community organizations.
HCFP Programs
The Housing and Community Facilities Programs provides a number of homeownership opportunities to rural Americans, as well as programs for home renovation and repair. HCFP also makes financing available to elderly, disabled, or low-income rural residents of multi-unit housing buildings to ensure they are able to make rent payments.
Housing and Community Facilities Programs assistance to individual residents of multi-family dwellings comes primarily in the form of rental assistance. Rent subsidies under the Rental Assistance Program ensure that elderly, disabled, and low-income residents of multi-family housing complexes financed by HCFP are able to afford rent payments. With the help of the Rental Assistance Program, a qualified applicant pays no more than 30% of his or her income for housing.
