Community Housing Partners (CHP) has received a NeighborWorks Flexible Impact Grant (NFIG) for $436,000 from NeighborWorks America, a Congressionally chartered nonprofit corporation. The NFIGs totaled $78.8 million and were awarded to 245 organizations across the NeighborWorks network nationwide.
The funding, made possible by an allocation from the U.S. Congress, supports scalable, community-driven solutions to increase housing supply, expand homeownership opportunities, and strengthen local economies.
The grant awards are designed to provide flexible, core operating support, allowing NeighborWorks network organizations to deploy funding where it is needed most. At CHP, the funding will be used to support real estate development activities — including $235,000 in capital funding — as well as affordable housing development and preservation, community revitalization efforts, and expanding services throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
“We are grateful to receive this continued support from NeighborWorks America,” said Lance Sutherland, Chief Financial Officer at CHP. “This flexible funding allows us to stay nimble and responsive, meeting communities where they are and deploying resources where they’re needed most. It strengthens our capacity to do the work that matters most to the families and neighborhoods we serve.”
Each year, CHP serves thousands of individuals and families across multiple states. In 2025, CHP provided 10,463 residents with stable rental homes, helping ensure that the communities we serve are safe and thriving.
NeighborWorks’ approach and stewardship enable organizations to act, respond to shifting market conditions, and bring housing solutions to the communities they serve. “NeighborWorks America is able to move resources quickly into the hands of organizations that know their communities best and are ready to act,” said NeighborWorks America President and CEO Marietta Rodriguez. “These grants are designed for impact. They provide flexible funding that organizations can put to work, whether that means building homes, preserving housing or supporting families on their path to stability.”
CHP is proud to be part of a network that translates funding into direct, local impact, addressing the nation’s housing challenges through practical, community-driven solutions.
“Every dollar we receive through this grant goes back into the communities we serve, helping build a foundation of stability and opportunity for families across the region,” Sutherland added.
