California Community Foundation: Housing Opportunities for Los Angeles

California Community Foundation: Housing Opportunities for Los Angeles


Deadline: 22-Jan-21

The California Community Foundation (CCF) is seeking applications for its Housing Opportunities for Los Angeles (Hola) to help local nonprofit affordable and supportive housing providers increase their capacity to create more affordable housing and to enhance the region’s existing supply of affordable housing with new investments that promote better health outcomes and economic opportunity for residents.

The Premium Grants Database

Early Grant Information for NGOs

An important part of CCF’s work to strengthen communities is to address the region’s structural housing inequities that perpetuate housing insecurity and homelessness for marginalized communities. Los Angeles is one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, and low-income communities and people of color have disproportionate rates of overcrowding, substandard housing, and excessive cost burdens.

CCF will award eight one-year grants for a combined total of $600,000 (additional funding may become available).
