Applications must focus on any one of three areas and should highlight the ways in which funding will provide the opportunity in the future to expand the availability of and/or access to safe affordable housing. The areas of focus are:

• Energy Efficiency; which may include weatherization initiatives, HVAC improvements, or implementation of alternative or renewable energy sources;
• Capacity Building; which may include the expansion of programmatic efforts or staff development for the organization that provides affordable housing services for low- to moderate- income individuals or in low- to moderate- income communities; additionally, infrastructure investment on the part of the non profit to expand and improve its service efforts will be considered;
• New Unit Creation where organizations focus their efforts on the creation of new affordable housing units that benefit low- to moderate- income individuals or communities. To be eligible for a grant in this year's competition, the applicant must be primarily engaged in the development and or management of affordable housing.
