We’ve developed a two-year fellowship program to bring more talent 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. We felt that to truly create equitable communities, we had to empower the people who live in them to lead development projects. Through paid on-the-job training, mentorship, and peer support, our fellows gain the skills to become project managers who are not only highly qualified but also deeply committed to community needs.
The first cohort began their two-year fellowships in September 2023 and completed them in August 2025. The second cohort started in the fall of 2025.
