Breaking New Ground

The Housing Partnership Network serves as an incubator for innovation and new product development that enhances the performance of our field. Together, we share knowledge and best practices, pursue collaborative business ventures, and advocate for housing policies that increase our organizational impact and sustainability.
The foundation for our work is peer exchange among the leaders of high-performing organizations, and collaboration facilitated through our Communities of Practice.  We focus on initiatives that:

  • advance our members’ core missions
  • increase their organizational sustainability
  • promote sector innovation
  • strengthen the Network

The Network manages the innovation process and often engages outside consultants with specialized business expertise to work closely with a group of interested members to assess mission impact, determine feasibility, and develop an implementation plan.  Through this proven approach we have created more than a dozen social enterprises that are helping our members achieve greater scale and impact.
