Housing
Technical assistance includes assisting local governments and not-for-profit entities in the development, application, and implementation of affordable housing programs for very low and low-income households in Tennessee. SETDD provides information related to housing programs and opportunities and is able to assist in the development of HOME and housing-related CDBG grant applications. In addition, SETDD's housing program provides county-by-county information on housing stats, subsidized housing, apartment rents and vacancy rates, and housing programs to regional housing interests, developers, governments and agencies. HOME funds are only available in certain counties each year. SETDD functions as a regional disseminator of housing program information by keeping periodic contact with other housing-related organizations and exchanging information and ideas. SETDD's primary role as a regional project clearinghouse affords it an excellent position from which to monitor regional housing development trends and to assist in housing development within the District. SETDD staff not only provides assistance with grants and ongoing housing related services and activities, but also attempts to bring creativity and diversity to the field by searching for innovative projects. Keeping abreast of the housing needs of the people with modern trends are good for communities, create new partnerships for housing, and provide affordable housing opportunities.
