Housing Capacity Building Program
In the early 1990s, the DCF started a program that
has allowed more people to become homeowners in Delaware today. The
Delaware Leadership Program: An Affordable Housing Initiative, which
provided funds, technical assistance and advocacy to Delaware’s
affordable housing community, became the
Housing Capacity Building
Program (HCBP)
in 1993. Today it is a cooperative effort of the Delaware State
Housing Authority, the University of Delaware’s Center for Community
Development and Family Policy and the Delaware Community Investment
Corporation.
The Housing Capacity Building Program fund is
located at the DCF and is supported through contributions from local
corporations and financial institutions. The program is fostering a
stronger affordable housing delivery system by strengthening the
capacity of these organizations to build more housing, better
maintain housing or place more people in affordable housing.
