Awarded through the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund, the Capital Magnet Fund helps low-income families and economically distressed communities by attracting investment for affordable housing and related economic development. This CMF Award provides a significant source of capital to directly fund more justice housing to the District of Columbia.

116 organizations applied for this grant, but less than a third received awards.
