2.1 Project Overview The City of Charlotte is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide a comprehensive Capacity Building, Education, and Project Development Program for faith-based organizations. The program will focus on equipping faith communities with the knowledge, technical resources, and support necessary to undertake affordable housing and community development projects. This initiative will be cohort-based, with selected organizations receiving both group and individual support to advance their projects from conceptualization through implementation. The goal of the program is to strengthen the capacity of faith communities to address critical housing needs within their neighborhoods by providing education, technical assistance, and access to expert consultants. The program will foster partnerships, leverage community assets, and increase the faith communities’ ability to develop affordable housing and other community focused initiatives on underutilized land.
