About Multifamily Coalition for Affordable Housing
The Multifamily Coalition for Affordable Housing concentrates on frontline basic-needs and community-stabilizing services, prioritizing organizations that provide shelter, transitional housing supports, food security, workforce training and local community development. They fund mission-driven service providers (shelters, kitchens, family homelessness programs, training institutes and CDCs) with unrestricted operational support, often renewing grants to the same partners. Grants are modest but targeted to organizations that serve vulnerable households and strengthen affordable housing ecosystems at the local level.

About Multifamily Coalition for Affordable Housing
Multifamily Coalition for Affordable Housing’s recent giving shows a clear pattern of board-directed operating support to local nonprofits working on affordable housing, homelessness, food security, workforce training, and related community needs. The largest grant in the current record went to Erskine Green Training Institute in Muncie, Indiana, at $19,000 for fund operations, followed by $12,500 to Chattanooga Community Kitchen in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and $12,000 to Haven House in East Lansing, Michigan. That mix points to a funder that backs both direct service providers and organizations that help people stabilize housing and income. The foundation’s grants are usually modest in size, but they are repeated over time. Family Promise of Beaufort Co in Bluffton, South Carolina received multiple awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025; Haven House also appears in more than one year. Other recipients include community development and faith-based service organizations, along with training and shelter providers. Across the record, the support is primarily unrestricted operating help rather than project-specific funding, suggesting a focus on organizational resilience for groups serving vulnerable households and communities.

How Multifamily Coalition for Affordable Housing Gives
Typical awards are small and clustered around operating support: the stated grant-size distribution is p25 of $2,500, median of $5,000, and p75 of $10,000. The recent record also includes a few higher awards, but most gifts sit at the board’s standard community-grant level.
