Funding for HBA Workforce Development Programs Available
The National Housing Endowment (NHE) wants to challenge the building industry to help build and grow new state and local partnerships and opportunities.
As part of this effort, NHE created the Challenge | Build | Grow Grant Initiative for NAHB state and local home builder associations (HBAs). The Endowment is offering eligible applicants up to $5,000 in matching challenge grant funds for programs and projects addressing NAHB's highest priority areas, including education and worker training — focusing on building innovations and growing the future workforce.
NHE is currently accepting applications from HBAs and the deadline is March 31, 2023.
The Endowment is an essential vehicle for addressing industry concerns and has awarded thousands of grants totaling more than $15 million in support of housing-related projects nationwide. To learn more about the grants and student scholarships available, visit NHE's website.
