About The Community Builders (TCB)

Join a growing organization that is strengthening neighborhoods across the nation! The Community Builders, Inc. (TCB) is one of America's leading nonprofit real estate developers and owners. Our mission is to build and sustain strong communities where all people can thrive.

Community Life is TCB's place-based model that uses stable housing as a platform for connecting families, seniors and disabled households to community resources and opportunities. We engage residents in creating programs and building strategic partnerships with local stakeholders to create pathways to opportunities in early education, economic mobility, youth development, voting registration, health, and resident leadership. Community Life's goal is to create equitable access to community supports, resource and opportunities so residents can thrive.

TCB's Home Room Initiative will address the needs of residents facing chronic housing instability across two states and set them on a path to lasting housing and financial stability through a two-part approach,
1) Construction: increasing the supply of permanent supportive housing units, and
2) Wealth and Housing: place-based financial and wraparound services through the Community Life. Reporting to the Community Life Senior, the FPC will focus on financial assistance, resident outreach and recruitment into this project's various financial mobility programs including but not limited to rent reporting for credit building, home buying, financial counseling and coaching, and Family Self Sufficiency (FSS). The FPC will be able to articulate the various financial programs to residents, as well as provide resources and connections to financial partners and provide support to residents to access and register for these various financial programs.
