In 2022, the focus of our programmatic work was on six core efforts: 1) equitable path forward - supporting developers of color through investment and advisory services; 2) building resilient futures - through which we launched regional climate resilience academies that will teach affordable housing Partners to incorporate best practices to reduce or eliminate carbon output and protect low income residents from disaster events; 3) preservation next - through which we are working to address the escalating need for maintaining existing affordable housing and tenant support/eviction prevention; 4) faith based development initiative - through which we are providing advisory services, training, and capital to houses of worship with excess land to support development of affordable housing; 5) housing as a pathway to justice - through which we are working to increase affordable housing options for people who have interacted with the criminal legal system; and 6) upward mobility through which we are seeking to support resident services, education, and other opportunites fostering economic advancement.
