RFP/Grants

LCCHO is excited to offer pre-development seed funding to non-profit organizations or housing authorities serving one or more municipalities in Litchfield County, allowing these organizations to move quickly to determine feasibility and next steps for housing projects. If a project is determined to be infeasible after this funding is spent to determine feasibility, the loan will be forgiven. Funds may be used to pay for initial predevelopment costs including architectural services, legal services, environmental assessments, site surveys, and more.

Eligible organizations are encouraged to apply by filling out the application and submitting it to LCCHO Director Jocelyn Ayer at jocelyn@thehousingcollective.org.

The Foundation for Community Health (FCH), Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation (BTCF), and its Fund for the Northwest Corner have come together to support local efforts to create affordable housing opportunities in our region in partnership with the Litchfield County Center for Housing Opportunity. Eligible organizations can request grant funds for activities that increase meaningful cross-sector collaboration and community engagement and help move affordable housing from concept to reality. Additional funding is available through this program on a rolling basis through May 30, 2024 to eligible organizations that serve the following towns: Canaan, Cornwall, Goshen, Kent, North Canaan, Norfolk, Salisbury, Sharon, and Warren.
