About Us:

Enterprise Community Partners is a national nonprofit that exists to make a good home possible for the millions of families without one. Home is where life happens, where plans are made and futures begin. The foundation for dignity, health, education, wealth and community.

Our Goals:

  • Increase the supply of affordable homes.
  • Advance racial equity after decades of systematic racism in housing.
  • Strengthen communities to be resilient to the unpredictable and make upward mobility possible.

Our Impact:

Since 1982, we have invested $54 billion and created 873,000 homes across all 50 states – all to make home and community places of pride, power and belonging. We are here for impact. We are here for change. Join us.
