Grants to Support Housing & Shelter Initiatives in Massachusetts in Massachusetts (USA)
GrantID: 74108
Grant Funding Amount Low: $50,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $100,000
Summary
This grant offers funding of up to $100,000 to support capital projects focused on housing and shelter. A secondary, emergency program provides up to $50,000 for urgent repairs or improvements. These funds are intended to enhance facilities that directly serve women, families, and childcare centers, with the goal of promoting safety, accessibility, and overall well-being.
The main funding stream, available through a scheduled yearly round, welcomes nonprofit organizations based in Massachusetts. Eligible nonprofits must have 501(c)(3) status, sound financial standing, and the capacity to start a construction or renovation project within 90 days of award notification.
Organizations applying for larger awards (over $50,000) are expected to match each additional dollar requested with funds from other sources. The emergency grant stream is open only to current grantees and focuses exclusively on critical, health- or safety-related infrastructure issues—things like roofing, structural repairs, or systems that pose immediate risk to occupants.
These grants are designed to support both the creation of new transitional beds or units and the preservation of existing ones through upgrades that address safety, code compliance, or major structural needs. While the focus is on improving shelter facilities, childcare centers serving low-income families are also eligible under a separate funding round with similar regional and eligibility requirements.
In summary, this opportunity provides substantial support for nonprofits that are working to enhance or expand housing and childcare infrastructure. With funding up to six figures and the possibility of emergency funds, it’s a significant resource for organizations committed to improving services for women, families, and young children—helping ensure safe, stable environments that meet regulatory standards and community needs.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Massachusetts that are actively involved in Non-Profit Support Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
