Grant Program
HMNE is proud to offer two grant programs.
Standard Grants
The first grant program offers a limited number of grants of up to $25,000. These grants are awarded on a rolling basis and are issued to projects dedicated to serving individuals and families earning below 80% of the area's median income ("AMI"). Projects having 20% of the proposed units set aside for individuals and families with income below 50% of AMI and projects having 40% of the units set aside for individuals and families with income below 60% of AMI may receive priority consideration. Organizations that have received grants in three (3) consecutive years are ineligible during the current cycle and must wait one (1) year before reapplying. Please see our Guidelines for Funding page for more information.
To date, over $2,000,000.00 in funds have been awarded through the grant program for a variety of projects, and your project could be next!
