Preparing organizations to successfully develop and manage low-income housing

   Common Ground helps organizations increase their ability to develop, manage, and sustain low-income housing. We work with boards of directors and their staff to support local decision-making and strategic planning.

  • recommend financial policies and management systems


  • provide tools and strategies for managing assets


  • educate board and staff regarding compliance requirements of public financing


  • assist organizations with missions that include affordable housing to complete strategic plans and business plans


Sample Projects:

Housing Resources Board Trained leadership how to achieve and maintain solvency and HUD compliance.

Spokane Community Housing Association Taught the Association how to increase their capacity through Board development, property management, and fund development.

St. Stephen Housing Association Worked with board and staff to increase their capacity through establishing policies, procedures, systems, and job descriptions.

Kitsap Community Resources Educated board and staff in financial management, regulatory compliance, human resource polices, and homebuyer program management.
