We’ve developed a two-year fellowship program to bring more diversity into the field of affordable housing development.
With the support of key allies, Urban Edge, The Neighborhood Developers, and OppCo have developed a new fellowship opportunity. Fellows benefit from practical on-the-job work experience, skills training, a mentor, and peer support. We’ll prepare fellows for rewarding careers that produce and provide affordable homes, commercial spaces, and stronger communities.
The first cohort—all women of color—began their two-year fellowships in September 2023 and will complete it in August 2025. The next cohort will be announced in the fall of 2025.
