Ideas to Innovation (i2i) Activation Grants
In spring 2026, CDFA hosted an i2i (Ideas to Innovation) symposium focused on strengthening social infrastructure in New Hampshire communities. Social infrastructure refers to the places, relationships, organizations, and services that create opportunities for people to connect, belong, and participate in community life. When these connections are strong, communities are more resilient and better positioned to support economic vitality, civic engagement, and sustainable community development.
As part of this convening, CDFA is soliciting proposals that advance social infrastructure and connectivity within New Hampshire’s communities. Proposed ideas may span a wide range of topics and community contexts but should be grounded in creating inclusive, accessible spaces and experiences that foster connection, shared identity, and a strong sense of place. The proposals could also help spark or expand community engagement efforts showcased through the i2i event.
The Ideas to Innovation “i2i” Activation Grant opportunity is designed to help spur new ideas and encourage creative thinking and innovation in community development efforts throughout New Hampshire. More specifically, CDFA seeks to provide resources for initiatives, public events and partnerships that:
The focus of the i2i Activation Grant shifts each year based on community needs, evolving trends and feedback from partners.
Housing Trust Fund
The Housing Trust Fund Program was established under Article XVIII of the Private Housing Finance Law (PHFL) to help meet the critical need for decent, affordable housing opportunities for people of low income. HTF provides funding to eligible applicants to construct low-income housing, to rehabilitate vacant, distressed or underutilized residential property (or portions of a property), or to convert vacant or underutilized non-residential property to residential use for occupancy by low-income homesteaders, tenants, tenant-cooperators or condominium owners.
Since 1985, HTF has received annual appropriations between $25 and $39 million; a nominal amount of each appropriation can be used for administration of the program.
Funding Limitations
Funding under the Low-Income Housing Trust Fund is limited to $125,000 per unit. Project sponsors must ensure long-term (15-30 years) use by low and/or very low-income persons. Up to 10 percent of an HTF award can be used for a community service facility.
Program funds cannot be used for a project's or applicant's administrative costs, nor can they be used for any non-residential facilities, except for community space for project tenants and such space necessary for operating and management activities as approved by the HTFC. No more than 50 percent of the HTF award may be used towards acquisition of the project property. Operating reserves cannot be capitalized with HTF monies.
No more than 50 percent of the annual HTF appropriation may be allocated to any one municipality. Additionally, no more than one-third of the funds appropriated in any one year may be used by private developers.
Housing Stabilization Program
The Housing Stabilization Program assists low-income families who are receiving a state Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) grant and are homeless or are unstably housed and at risk of becoming homeless.

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Grants
Encouraging the reduction and proper management of hazardous products in our homes.
New Hampshire’s population of 1.4 million has almost doubled since 1970; the year of the first Earth Day. New Hampshire residents purchase millions of dollars’ worth of household products such as cleaners, pesticides and electronic devices that make our lives easier, safer and more enjoyable. The decision to purchase one product over another is generally determined by its price and effectiveness with media advertising being the primary source of such information. Unfortunately, consumers are not always aware of the toxic nature of these products nor do they fully consider the possible environmental or health effects resulting from their use and disposal.
When stored or used improperly, product vapors may react with the chemicals in another product creating toxic gases, poisonings and even fires. Every day, products like drain cleaners, medications, pesticides, bleaches and fluorescent lamps are thrown into the household trash where they are free to come in contact and react with each other. Even if the chemicals in these products don’t react in the garbage, their disposal as solid waste could allow them to leak into the environment where they would contaminate the air we breathe and water we drink.
NHDES household hazardous waste (HHW) collection project grants support HHW collection events across the state and help communities manage household-generated hazardous wastes. The HHW collection project grants are open to eligible municipalities and approved local or regional entities (for example, a town conservation commission, solid waste management district, regional planning council or commission, or non-profit organization, that has been authorized by a municipality to coordinate the municipality’s participation in one or more HHW collection projects). The grants are set at a designated per capita rate which may vary from year to year, or up to half the cost of the collection project at a dollar-for-dollar match for the communities served.
Eligible applicants must conduct an educational outreach campaign, which is more than simply promoting the collection event(s). The educational component must include information about ways to reduce HHW generation (pollution prevention), the potential dangers of improper disposal, and approved disposal measures.
HOME Tenant-Based Assistance (HTBA)
The HOME Tenant Based Assistance Program assists very low-income families to stabilize their housing.

These lead agencies are responsible for coordinating the use of the funds to serve their communities.
HTBRA is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to Oregon Housing and Community Services annually. Funds are allocated by Oregon Housing and Community Services to community action agencies annually.

HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program
The Pennsylvania HOME Program is a federally funded program that provides municipalities with grant and loan assistance to expand and preserve the supply of decent and affordable housing for low- and very low-income Pennsylvanians.
