“Leadership” is defined by the membership on the board of directors or its equivalent in terms of policy-setting, governance, and other meaningful decision-making for the organization.
Community-based organizations empower those who have been left out of decision-making processes affecting their own lives, are democratically organized and responsive to their community’s needs, involve the affected community in shaping issue priorities and helping to sustain the organization, and develop and renew their own leadership from the community being organized.
Work that they might fund can include but is not limited to:

Re-entry organizing to provide housing, resources, policy, direct action, etc.
Rental & utilities assistance.
Renter organizing to create resources, rental and utilities assistance, renter’s rights training, and leadership development.
Building and strengthening housing resources and support networks for impacted communities.
Eviction prevention, intervention, and other housing policy.
