Living Development Concepts (LDC) has completed a Nonprofit Capacity Building application to participate in this newly created program by The Barnes Fund. We hope to gain through our participation in this program training, information to benefit our organization and strengthen our capacity, as well as, opportunities to collaborate with other housing organizations to better address the housing issues while serving the communities.
In partnership with the Center for Nonprofit Management and the National Development Council, The Barnes Fund has created this capacity building program designed to strengthen the management capacity of local nonprofit developers, with a focus on affordable housing finance and development. This program will include organizational assessment, tailored technical assistance from local consultants, a cohort-based training that explores the development process, financial analysis techniques, and structuring needed to successfully develop and finance affordable home ownership and rental housing development.
Living Development Concepts (LDC) has partnered with Mr. Tony Eubanks. The owner of Eubanks & Sons Construction Co., Mr. Eubanks has over 30 years in construction and the affordable housing arena. Tony and Henry collaborated to design and build new homes that are cost efficient, and are affordable to first-time homebuyers participating in our Homeownership program. Mr. Eubanks’ unique skill set makes him a valuable asset in the development of Affordable Housing and to Living Development Concepts’ development team.
LDC renovates homes for resale as well as builds new homes. Typically, our homes feature a living room, eat-in kitchen, three or four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, central heating and air conditioning, and more. Our organization recently proposed one (1) project by submitting the RFA to Barnes Fund and is preparing an additional competitive Proposal for one (1) more with the same requestor.
