National Housing Counseling Program
300: National Housing Counseling Program - National CAPACD is a HUD-approved housing counseling intermediary that supports a network of trusted community-based organizations (CBOs). These organizations deliver culturally and linguistically appropriate housing counseling services to the homeless, low- and moderate-income renters, homebuyers, and homeowners. We provide grants and resources that support housing counseling services, outreach activities, capacity-building, and training. We use a peer-to-peer approach to share best practices and strategies among CBOs. In 2023, the network of 13 organizations served over 6,700 low- and moderate-income clients, helping to ensure individuals and families could remain in their homes or build their assets through homeownership.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2MNeighborhood and Place-based Strategies
370 & 380: Neighborhood and Place-based Strategies - National CAPACD is building the capacity of trusted, culturally competent, and linguistically capable community-based organizations through a combination of group training and individualized technical assistance focused on business counseling and micro-lending practice, as well as trainings and opportunities for peer sharing related to planning and policy that support neighborhood economic stabilization. This body of work consists of three interrelated programs: The Our Neighborhoods program supports member organizations in building community power through grassroots empowerment strategies such as tenant organizing, neighborhood organizing, and civic engagement. In 2023, the program operated a peer-learning cohort of 12 different organizations from across the country to share ideas and strategies and provide peer support to community organizers participating in the program. The participating organizations reached over 6,500 clients in local communities and hosted 111 local trainings.The Small Business program builds capacity for member organizations engaged in small business counseling, lending, and district stabilization efforts. In 2023, the program continued a peer-learning cohort that began in 2022 for 17 organizations from across the country to engage in peer technical assistance and share strategies around supporting local small businesses and the districts in which they are located. The participating organizations collectively did outreach to almost 4,000 entrepreneurs and counseled/ trained over 500 unduplicated clients, which resulted in nearly 200 saved jobs and the creation of another 100 new jobs. Furthermore, these organizations helped 80 entrepreneurs apply for loans, resulting in over half of these loans being approved. National CAPACD's AA and NHPI Creative Placemaking Learning Circle engages over 30 organizations from across the country that center creative and culturally-aligned strategies for advancing equitable development in AA and NHPI communities. Partnering with artists, storytellers, and culture bearers, these organizations employ strategies that include supporting local businesses, planning and protecting public spaces and other cultural assets, and building community connections to encourage a deeper exploration of the neighborhood and promote economic development and community safety. Together, these organizations share their ideas and experiences toward improving their own practice, while also helping to elevate awareness within the community development field of the unique strategies and values that drive creative placemaking in AA and NHPI communities across the country.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$991.8KPolicy & Leadership Development
330 & 345: Policy & Leadership Development - National CAPACD works with our member organizations and national partners to advance policies that impact low- and moderate-income AA and NHPIs and promote the equitable development of neighborhoods. We advocate on various community development issues and build partnerships with other national civil rights and advocacy organizations. We work to address the racial wealth divide, protect consumers, and prevent the displacement of low- and moderate-income residents and small businesses because of gentrification.National CAPACD creates opportunities for AA and NHPI community leaders from member organizations to engage in the civic process and policy efforts. In particular, through our annual policy advocacy fellowship program, Community in the Capital (CITC), we have convened more than 150 leaders from our membership over the last fifteen years. CITC aims to increase the national presence and visibility of AA and NHPI community-based organizations and emerging leaders, as well as bridge the gap between local and federal policy advocacy.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$888K
