2023 Transformative Development Partnership

Bolstering BIPOC neighborhood-focused developers to further equity and affordable development

The Guild and The Center for Community Progress are partnering to deliver the 2023 Transformative Development Partnership (TDP) which will support the work of community-focused BIPOC real estate development organizations across Georgia. The 2023 program will seek to continue the success of the previous cohort and expand from 5 developers in the Atlanta region to 12 developers, CDCs, and land banks across Georgia.

The program will provide the cohort with pre-development grants to support their active projects, host convenings that cover key topics, and provide opportunities for knowledge sharing and partnership between the cohort and support organizations including land banks and municipalities.
