Enterprise Community Partners today announced a historic $65 million grant from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, marking her second major donation to the non-profit.

Power Forward Communities, a coalition Enterprise co-leads with some of the country’s most trusted community development, climate, and housing organizations, is purpose-built to decarbonize America’s homes and drive a market transformation that cuts costs, benefits renters and homeowners, and specifically focuses on low-income communities nationwide.

Enterprise was joined by national, state and county officials, and partners, supporters, and residents for a ribbon cutting ceremony at Legacy at Twin Rivers, a recently redeveloped affordable apartment community in Columbia, Maryland. The ceremony is part of Enterprise’s celebration of 1 million homes created since its inception in 1982, and marks an additional 153 homes created and preserved in Maryland. 

Enterprise seeks to identify a contractor to develop an evaluation plan that will encompass an assessment of data from five years of program operations for Home 4 Good, as well as implement the first phase of the evaluation for two years of program data.
