F2: Outreach & Technical Assistance

Conduct outreach and provide technical assistance to strengthen the capacity of faith-based and community organizations to attract partners and secure resources.

Other Information:

Faith-based and community organizations, large and small, can play a significant role in helping HUD to achieve its core mission. Among other assets, many of these organizations have a detailed knowledge of the needs of low-income communities and have the trust of low-income residents. However, some smaller grassroots and faith-based institutions have lacked access to information and critical networking contacts, and lack complete capacity to make themselves eligible to receive federal funding. In response, HUD’s Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives(CFBCI) will reach out to groups – especially the smaller grassroots organizations that tend to be excluded – and help them with educational seminars, technical assistance, and other services. By increasing the involvement of faith-based and community organizations in HUD’s programs, the Department intends to provide higher quality services to the nation’s communities.
