OCA Gold Sessions Encourage Collaborative Action
NACEDA would like to congratulate the seven member organizations that completed the OCA Gold Sessions at this years Summit and made it so successful and invigorating! Great work CT HOUSING, HCDNNJ, PACDC, NCACDC, SCACDC, IACED and Housing Action Illinois. The Sessions demonstrated how the Organizational Capacity Assessment Program is helping participating organizations to build on their assets. Armed with new action plans and collaborative proposals, participating member organizations are ready to apply the innovative approaches that they learned from one another in their own communities. With the generous support of the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the hard work of the Capacity Committee, NACEDA will continue to encourage other member organizations to participate in the capacity building process.
Investments
in Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs) have dropped by several billion
dollars, costing the communities that NACEDA’s members serve thousands
of units of affordable housing and jobs. NACEDA partner organizations LISC
and Enterprise have put together a document
with recommendations on how
to reenergize LIHTCs, which is available
here.
