The Affordable Housing Trust Fund

The Affordable Housing Trust Fund was established at the East Tennessee Foundation with contributions from Knoxville's Community Development Corporation (KCDC), the City of Knoxville and the Cornerstone Foundation. The Fund is intended to support the production, preservation, and rehabilitation of housing for low-income households located within the city of Knoxville.

The Fund makes resources available through grants, loans and forgivable loans to nonprofit organizations determined to be a 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and to for-profit corporations. The selection process for funding projects is competitive and proposals must be received 30 days in advance.

Individuals are ineligible applicants.
