Our team is midway through converting a former hotel in New Orleans into permanent rental units reserved for VA referrals and other low-income residents. We are firmly in the construction stage and now need to secure additional funding that covers materials, labor and the final compliance costs tied to the conversion. I’m seeking a seasoned grant writer with a successful track record in large affordable-housing programs who can pinpoint the best federal, state and local opportunities—HUD, CDBG, HOME, Louisiana Housing Corp. and mission-aligned foundations—and craft a winning narrative that meets each agency’s technical requirements. Deliverables • Submission-ready grant proposal tailored to the most advantageous program(s) • Detailed budget narrative linking costs to construction milestones • Complete package of required attachments (work plan, timeline, support letters, impact metrics) formatted to specifications • One round of revisions after agency guideline review I will provide architectural plans, pro-formas and partnership letters; I’m counting on you for persuasive storytelling, regulatory alignment and deadline management. First draft is needed within two weeks of contract award, with a final package ready the week after. Let’s secure the funds that will bring safe, dignified housing to veterans and low-income neighbors in New Orleans.
