Open federal opportunities addressing affordable housing organizations (nonprofit-eligible)

Federal opportunities are listed nationally: a nonprofit in North Carolina can apply to any of them, so this table is not filtered by state.

Matched against the full synopsis text of every posted opportunity, not the listing title alone; restricted to opportunities open to nonprofit applicants. Federal programs rarely use the phrase "affordable housing"; this table also matches the agency vocabulary: affordable housing, housing development, rental assistance.

Number	Title	Agency	Award range	Closes
HHS-2026-ACF-OCS-EAH-0027	Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Demonstration	Administration for Children and Families - OCS	$150,000 to $300,000	08/24/2026
CPD-2600-DC-0098	FY26 Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing)	Department of Housing and Urban Development	$5.0 million to $10.0 million	08/03/2026

grants.gov's own loose keyword search returns 235 listings mentioning "affordable housing organizations" anywhere (retrieved 2026-08-03); the table above is our stricter relevance cut.

What these numbers do not say

Private-funder figures come from 990 and 990-PF filings as released by the IRS; filings lag reality by one to two years, and organizations below the e-file thresholds are not represented.
A funder appearing here funded this cause historically. It is not a statement that they are accepting applications.
Filings include corrections: voided checks, returned grants and corpus-distribution adjustments appear as negative amounts and are counted as filed. They are a fraction of a percent of the total.
Cause matching is keyword-based against grant purpose text and recipient names; it undercounts grants described in other words.
