Silver Spring, MD (May 11, 2026) – Nonprofit developer Montgomery Housing Partnership (MHP) announced today it has received a NeighborWorks Flexible Impact Grant (NFIG) from NeighborWorks America, a Congressionally chartered nonprofit corporation.  

The NFIGs totaled $78.8 million and were awarded to 245 organizations across the NeighborWorks network nationwide. The funding, made possible by an allocation from the U.S. Congress, supports scalable, community-driven solutions to increase housing supply, expand homeownership opportunities, and strengthen local economies. 

The grant awards are designed to provide flexible, core operating support, allowing NeighborWorks network organizations to deploy funding where it is needed most. The grant will help sustain MHP’s housing and community development efforts, directly benefiting families in Montgomery County and surrounding areas. 

“MHP develops quality affordable housing, designed to improve stability for families and communities. We also go beyond housing development through wraparound programs and services. This grant will strengthen these efforts,” said MHP President Robert A. Goldman. “We are grateful to NeighborWorks America and Congress for making the NFIG funding available, as it allows organizations like ours to respond to the tremendous need for affordable housing.” 

Over the past year, MHP has made significant strides in its real estate initiatives and has provided direct programming and essential resources to help maintain housing stability and empower residents to improve their futures. To date, MHP has developed more than 3,250 affordable homes in the Washington, DC, region, serving close to 6,000 residents annually.  

NeighborWorks’ approach and stewardship enable organizations to act, respond to shifting market conditions, and bring housing solutions to the communities they serve. 

“NeighborWorks America is able to move resources quickly into the hands of organizations that know their communities best and are ready to act,” said NeighborWorks America President & CEO Marietta Rodriguez. “These grants are designed for impact. They provide flexible funding that organizations can put to work, whether that means building homes, preserving housing, or supporting families on their path to stability.” 

MHP is proud to be part of NeighborWorks America, a network that translates funding into direct, local impact, addressing the nation’s housing challenges through practical, community-driven solutions. This grant will strengthen MHP’s commitment to securing and developing safe, high-quality, affordable housing for low-income families, supported by comprehensive wraparound services.
