Event Recap

Driving Creative Housing Solutions for 30 Years

Read about our recent reception held at the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice where we welcomed 100+ leaders in affordable housing philanthropy, investment, policy, and development to recognize our shared accomplishments and the strength and diversity of the network.

“We have been a member of HPN for many years… it’s important to be connected with our peer organizations and our partners. It's a space for us to learn and grow, but also to bring more insights about the communities that we're serving.”

Annie Donovan
CEO, Raza Development Fund

“To interact with thought leaders in this work is priceless. Our organization has been able to augment our development platform, our whole organizational approach – giving us a broader bandwidth to be able to impact the communities and the constituents that we work with.”

Oliver Gross
President, New Urban Development

“We were working on a project in a historic African American community. Being able to talk through a new development platform with practitioners was priceless and has been a cornerstone of continued revitalization.”

Oliver Gross
President, New Urban Development

“Part of the uniqueness and specialness of HPN is the ability to work with folk who are mutual practitioners… there's nothing like being able to be in a room full of people who get it.”

Oliver Gross
President, New Urban Development

“Membership has allowed us to work on projects and finish them quicker and move [residents] into their home… bottom line is they want the house. We have trust in HPN and the trust then is reciprocated back to us.”

Nick Mitchell Bennett
Executive Director, cdcb come dream. come build.

“What’s constant [about HPN] is the importance of coming together as peers in a network. What’s changed is the composition of this group -- it's bigger, the energy is really alive and it's more diverse.”

Annie Donovan
CEO, Raza Development Fund

“I'm excited about 30 years of HPN, and even more excited about what the next three decades will be. Because what we do collectively is more needed today than ever before.”

Greta Harris
President & CEO, Better Housing Coalition

“We knew that as an organization we wanted to grow…I needed not only myself, but my colleagues, to network with other peers across the country and be able to dream bigger about what we could do.”

Greta Harris
President & CEO, Better Housing Coalition
