Housing Grants
The Results Foundation Housing Grants support organizations working to increase the supply of quality, affordable homes in our communities as well as programs helping individuals and families on a pathway to sustainable home ownership. With a focus on initiatives that value access and equity, we strive to improve lives and strengthen neighborhoods.
Whether it’s creating new affordable housing, maintaining secure housing, or providing financial education to reach the goal of homeownership, these grants aim to empower organizations working on the frontlines of housing challenges in our communities.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE RESULTS.
