SFCDC Trains & Builds Capacity
1/5
SFCDC organizes workshops and one-on-one technical assistance for affordable housing developers, community developers and other community based organizations working to expand affordable housing and economic opportunities throughout Miami-Dade County. We also work to build capacity of Miami-Dade's community development sector.
One of our ongoing series is "Tools You Can Use" where we provide information on new and underutilized tools that are available to local community developers to expand affordable housing and neighborhood level economic development/economic opportunity.
SFCDC also partners with other organizations, both national and local, to undertake capacity building and training efforts.
Your support will help us develop additional training and capacity building opportunities that strengthen nonprofit organizations and develop skills of individuals working in the area of affordable housing and community development.
