Common questions
How many grants for affordable housing are open in California right now?
As of Oct 28, 2026, we list 15 open grants for affordable housing in California. We refresh this list from Grants.gov and other sources every 10 minutes.
What does the first-time % column mean?
For federal grants we look up the program behind the announcement on USAspending and compute the share of recent awards that went to organizations that had not won under that program before. A high number means newcomers win regularly; a low number means it mostly re-funds past grantees.
Can you help us apply?
Yes. Our grant writers can check your eligibility for free, then write and submit the application for a fixed price.
Which foundations fund affordable housing in California?
Our local-funders pages list private foundations by where their grants actually went, from IRS 990-PF filings, with whether each accepts applications. See /funders/california/.
