LISC, Enterprise, and Habitat commissioned Social Compact and Weinheimer & Associates to evaluate their use of HUD's Section 4 program, which supports training for community development corporation (CDC) boards and staffs, helps CDCs meet organizational needs (such as hiring new staff or improving financial management systems), pay for technical assistance (such as feasibility studies for new projects) and fund community projects. The program averaged just under $33 million a year between 2001 and 2009. Relying primarily on an online survey of 235 carefully sampled CDCs receiving Section 4 grants between 2001 and 2009, researchers tested whether the Section 4 theory of change was validated in practice. Did Section 4 investments produce observable organizational capacity growth? Was this growth linked to increased production of affordable housing and other community assets?
