At the CBA LIVE 2025 conference, the Consumer Bankers Association (CBA) awarded Woodforest National Bank the Joe Belew Award for its commitment to expanding affordable housing opportunities through nonprofit partnerships.
This recognition aligns with the mission of Housing Partnership Network (HPN) and its members, who are dedicated to innovative solutions that increase access to affordable housing. One such solution is HPF FlexCap, a first-of-its-kind, CDFI-led product that provides flexible capital to help mission-driven developers acquire and preserve affordable homes.
Woodforest’s efforts exemplify the type of cross-sector collaboration needed to tackle the affordable housing crisis, and HPN is proud to support initiatives that drive meaningful impact.
