Special Initatives Grants

VCDC has established a Special Initiatives (SI) grant program to support projects intended to enhance the quality of life for residents of affordable housing communities throughout Virginia.  Eligible recipients include nonprofit and public agency partners with whom VCDC has a current or potential business relationship.

SI funds can be used for start-up activities, services, equipment or programming that will improve the partner organization’s capacity to develop programs that benefit residents.

Potential VCDC partners also can apply for funds for capacity-building programs or equipment that will enhance a housing developer’s ability to engage in an LIHTC or historic rehabilitation project in which VCDC could serve as the equity investor.

Previous initiatives funded include a children’s summer camp program, furnishings for a transitional housing facility, computer equipment and art supplies for a community room, and an emergency call system at a retirement community.

For more information about VCDC Special Initiatives Grants, please contact Mia Whybrow at mwhybrow@vacdc.org or 804.343.1200, ext. 133.
