Applications are now open for National CAPACD’s 2026 OurNeighborhoods Peer Learning Program. This program fosters a space where organizers and advocates can support one another and discuss challenges in organizing against gentrification and displacement that impact low-income communities, including Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AA and NHPI).
From April to September 2026, participants will meet virtually and in person to build relationships with one another. In these spaces, they will workshop the common challenges facing organizers in place-based and community-stabilizing work. Participants will also explore topics such as tenant organizing and community land trusts with a technical assistance provider.
The OurNeighborhoods Peer Learning Program aims to support anti-displacement projects that include, but are not limited to, strategies such as forming tenant associations; organizing constituents to advance affordable housing or community development policies; and engaging communities in community-led planning. We are actively seeking applicants who build the leadership of directly impacted communities to engage in policy change campaigns and democratic processes. For more information on eligibility criteria, please see the RFP materials below.
Along with acceptance to the peer learning program, National CAPACD will provide grants of $16,000 to each awarded organization. Eligible organizations must have 501(c)(3) status or a fiscal sponsor and advocate for low-income AA and NHPI communities.
The deadline to apply is February 13 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Applications must be submitted on our Foundant Grant Portal. Relevant documents with additional details are linked below. All questions should be directed to ourneighborhoods@nationalcapacd.org.
A virtual information session will be held on January 27 at 12 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET. Register for the information session here.
