Development Services develops affordable housing for organizational clients in the locations they serve.

In addition, Community Frameworks has two Capacity Building Initiatives. The first, SHOP, provides HUD pass-through grant funds and technical assistance to affiliated homeownership programs. The second program, Technical Assistance, offers various organizational and housing development services and training to improve or enhance the abilities of other organizations to produce and manage affordable housing.
