Northstar Toolkit helps housing nonprofits find aligned funders, organize community impact data, and write applications that demonstrate measurable neighborhood transformation.
Grant writing in housing comes with unique obstacles. Northstar Toolkit is built to solve them.
HUD, CDBG, HOME, and LIHTC applications have intricate requirements. Tracking compliance documentation across multiple funding streams is a full-time job.
Housing funders want to see neighborhood-level change — not just units built. Connecting housing data to economic development, health, and education outcomes is complex.
Occupancy data, community surveys, HMIS data, and financial reports live in separate systems. Every application requires assembling evidence from scratch.
Federal and state housing grants are highly competitive with specific scoring criteria. Small differences in evidence quality determine outcomes.
Search foundations, CDFIs, and government agencies funding affordable housing, homelessness, community development, and neighborhood revitalization.
The Riverside Community Foundation shows strong alignment with community-focused organizations in the Pacific Northwest. Their emphasis on equity and local impact suggests excellent potential for partnership.
Import community needs assessments, occupancy reports, and outcome evaluations. Build a centralized evidence base spanning housing, economic, and health outcomes.
Generate drafts that cite your community data and align with funder scoring criteria. The AI ensures every claim is backed by evidence from your uploaded documents.
