A massive shortage of affordable rental homes: it’s the greatest problem we’re up against. Meanwhile, rents keep going up, paychecks aren't keeping pace, and good homes in strong neighborhoods are increasingly out of reach for millions of families.

This is a generational challenge, but a solvable one — when we sharpen our focus. It’s why we channel our work into six impact areas that make the greatest difference for systems, people, and communities across the country.

Preservation and Production

America’s housing crisis requires new thinking and resources to preserve and produce exponentially more rental homes that families can afford.

Racial Equity

Racial equity is at the center of our work. It’s how we dismantle the legacy of systematic racism in housing and close the growing racial wealth gap in America.

Resilience

As a national leader in resilience, we support and invest in people and communities so they can better withstand the effects of our changing climate and build more sustainable futures.

Upward Mobility

Upward mobility starts at home. But if you can’t find a home you can afford, or the cost of rent takes too much out of your paycheck, how can you invest in your future? It all adds up to a massive racial wealth gap — one we’re working to close.

Partner Sustainability and Growth

Through grants, resources, and advisory services, we help partners on the ground to sustain and grow their impact for the long term.

Resident Success

Home is the foundation for dignity, health, education, wealth, and community. It’s why we build and preserve homes and communities that focus on resident success.
