Want to apply for affordable housing but don't know where to begin? The Actors Fund affordable housing seminar helps participants get organized so they can be prepared to take advantage of opportunities to apply.

As the situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19) evolves, The Actors Fund is continually evaluating how we can best promote the health and safety of our community while still providing access to our services. We value the opportunity to bring people together to learn and grow. But with everyone’s health and safety in mind, it’s become necessary to temporarily transition our in-person program offerings to online and phone meetings only for the coming weeks.
