Partnerships between non-profit housing developers and culturally responsive and faith organizations can unlock powerful synergies. Culturally responsive and faith-based organizations have valuable cultural competencies and community connections but may not have staff or capacity to develop permanent supportive housing using the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. Partnering with an established nonprofit to provide the guarantees and net-worth requirements that tax credit investors are looking for is a key strategy. By partnering, important skills are acquired to see a development through from conception to completion to operations. In this session, we will look at two such partnerships that were made by the Low Income Housing Institute.
