CHTOG

CHTOG refers to the Collaborative Housing Transformation Opportunity Grant. This is a program designed to encourage and support innovative approaches to affordable housing development and preservation. The grant aims to foster collaboration among various stakeholders, including non-profit organizations, local governments, developers, and community groups, to address housing challenges more effectively.

The core objective of the CHTOG program is to pilot and scale up solutions that increase the supply of affordable housing, improve housing quality, and enhance housing stability for low- and moderate-income individuals and families. Funding is typically awarded to projects that demonstrate a strong potential for replication and long-term impact. These projects often involve exploring new financing models, construction methods, or community engagement strategies.

Eligible activities under the CHTOG program can include planning and design, pre-development costs, construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing units, and supportive services that help residents maintain housing. The program emphasizes data collection and performance measurement to evaluate the success of funded initiatives and inform future housing policy. By promoting collaboration and innovation, CHTOG seeks to create more sustainable and equitable housing opportunities across different communities.
