Policy
HPN's unique network of mission-driven affordable housing developers, owners, and lenders sets our policy work apart. Our approach to public policy is driven by direct experience working in communities around the country. We have proven success using business savvy combined with both public and private resources to drive real change, and through that experience recognize the important role the federal government plays in establishing long-term solutions for our affordable housing and community development challenges. A Washington, DC based Policy team works with Congress and federal agencies to improve the effectiveness of housing and community development programs and ultimately the outcomes for our communities.

Current Policy Priorities
Housing Partnership Network (HPN) is a collaborative of 120+ mission-driven housing developers, owners and lenders who believe that all people should have an affordable home that meets their needs and that housing is the foundation a strong local economy. HPN works across the spectrum of affordable housing needs from preventing homelessness to producing rental housing and providing for homeownership opportunities. We respond to community needs in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
Anchored in the expertise of our members, HPN seeks to educate policymakers and engage with broad coalitions to advance sensible, bipartisan policy that will:
- increase housing production,
- improve affordability and create pathways out of homelessness;
- expand responsible access to homeownership;
- lower the cost to build and operate federally-assisted housing.
