Enterprise Community Partners and the City of Charlotte are proud to launch Faith in Housing Charlotte: An Enterprise Faith-Based Development Initiative Cohort. Houses of Worship, Faith-Based Organizations, and/or Community Development Organizations (formally affiliated with a HOW) with development sites located within the City of Charlotte, NC are invited to apply for this series of training and peer learning sessions designed to help them understand and navigate the development process. Training sessions will be open to FBDI-eligible organizations interested in transforming their underutilized land into affordable housing and/or community serving facilities. Priority will be given to applicants who are pursuing affordable housing development. Once selected, cohort participants will gain a solid understanding of the development process from visioning and partnerships to construction and property management. Local, Charlotte-based experts and practitioners who have successfully developed affordable housing and are thinking outside the box when it comes to financing developments will help deliver the training sessions. Training sessions will be delivered in-person and subsequent office-hours virtually.

Up to 12 FBDI-eligible organizations will be selected to join the FBDI Technical Assistance Cohort. In addition to the trainings, cohort members will have access to online tools, case studies, and bi-weekly “office hours” in which individual technical assistance will be provided in a confidential manner.
