Following the May 21, 2024, tornado the Greater Greenfield Community Foundation stepped into a new role, disaster response and recovery.
The GGCF board is entirely volunteer-led and since May 2024, board and committee members have logged thousands of hours in hands-on recovery work. Recognizing the scale and complexity of the recovery ahead, GGCF took a bold step forward in June 2024 by hiring a full-time Recovery Coordinator, through grant funds, to lead this work. The Foundation continues to be dedicated to the community’s recovery.

Residential Housing Request for Proposal

Greater Greenfield Community Foundation (GGCF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to

strengthening communities by expanding access to safe, affordable, and high-quality housing.

We are seeking proposals from qualified developers, builders, or development teams to design

and construct single-family residential homes that meet the specifications outlined in this

Request for Proposal (RFP). Our priority for this round of proposals is townhomes, condos or

duplexes.

Greenfield Housing Recovery Grant Program

The Greenfield Housing Recovery Grant Program is designed to accelerate the replacement and expansion of housing lost during the May 2024 tornado by providing per-unit development grants to qualified

developers constructing new housing within Greenfield city limits.

The program aims to:

• Replace housing units lost in the May 2024 tornado

• Encourage multi-unit and neighborhood-scale development

• Improve housing diversity (workforce, senior, rental, ownership)

• Reduce financial barriers developers face in rural housing markets
