Economic opportunity begins with stable, affordable homes

Housing Partnership Network (HPN) is an award-winning business collaborative of 100+ of the nation’s leading housing and community development organizations. Though we are a member driven network at our core, HPN is not a typical association or intermediary. We’re inventors, doers, and social entrepreneurs.

HPN facilitates peer-to-peer learning and promotes policy and practice that is based on the proven experience of some of the nation’s most successful nonprofits. Through our unique networked approach, organizations and leaders accelerate and scale innovation to more rapidly respond to changing market challenges and opportunities. Together, we have created and operate a family of social enterprises that strengthen the business performance and social impact of our members.

Affordable housing CEOs and funding partners describe the transformative power of being a member of the Housing Partnership Network -- including our President & CEO, Robin Hughes.
