About the company
Columbus Housing Initiative, Inc., doing business as NeighborWorks Columbus, is a Columbus, Georgia-based nonprofit community development corporation that functions as a federal grant recipient (94% of recent awards) focused on affordable housing development and community revitalization. The organization holds no federal contracts and does not sit on procurement vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grants from HUD and the Treasury Department's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, with one sub-grant award from NeighborWorks America's housing counseling program.
NeighborWorks Columbus operates as a community development financial institution and housing counselor network. The vendor's prime federal grant work spans two primary programs: HUD's Economic Development Initiative / Community Project Funding (Congressional Directed Spending awards) and the Treasury CDFI Program for financial assistance to build lending capacity in underserved markets. A representative $1.2 million Economic Development Initiative grant from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development was awarded in August 2024 with completion through August 2032, supporting economic revitalization and community development activities as defined in the Congressional Record. Earlier, Columbus Housing Initiative received a Community Development Financial Institutions Fund grant from Treasury dated December 2021 (completed December 2024) to finance development services, loan loss reserves, and capital reserves for lending to rural and urban low-income populations and communities lacking adequate access to affordable financial products. As a sub-grantee, the organization also participates in HUD's Comprehensive Housing Counseling Program under NeighborWorks America.
Customer concentration is narrow. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner represents nine awards; the Treasury CDFI Fund holds five awards; and the remaining two awards split between HHS Administration for Children and Families and HUD's Community Planning and Development office — collectively accounting for 100% of the sixteen documented awards. Total obligated dollars across all awards reach $7.4 million over a seventeen-year window. Activity is episodic: one to two awards per year across 2013–2015, a gap until 2021, then two awards in 2024, with the most recent sub-grant dated September 2024.
