We’re humbled to receive a historic $65 million grant from Mackenzie Scott, a second major contribution following Scott’s first donation in 2020. The initial donation helped us execute our 2020-2025 strategic plan, and funded programs supporting historically marginalized housing providers, giving renters monthly cash back payments, and deepening our work with Native and tribal communities. This second grant will build on that initial investment and bolster our program capacity to address the need for housing supply and climate-resilient communities. https://bit.ly/4ggeBSH
