Through federal grant awards, Southside Outreach Group, Inc. has consistently demonstrated its commitment to affordable housing initiatives across multiple federal programs. The organization has received a $422,400 Project Grant from the USDA Rural Housing Service's Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program, which supports technical assistance services for very low- and low-income individuals in rural areas to construct their own homes. Additionally, the organization has secured sub-awards from the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, including capacity building grants to develop affordable housing projects. These grants have enabled Southside Outreach Group to pursue significant housing developments, such as the Poplar Creek Homes project, which involves constructing 16 duplexes (32 units) for low-to-moderate income individuals, veterans, and persons with disabilities. The organization has also leveraged over $3 million in low-income housing tax credits and works closely with entities like the Virginia Housing Development Authority and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to deliver housing counseling services and support affordable housing initiatives.
