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. Yet rents keep going up, paychecks don’t keep pace, and good homes in strong neighborhoods are increasingly out of reach.
The system doesn’t work. It must be changed, and it must be changed by us.

Support community development organizations on the ground
Aggregate and invest capital for impact in homes and communities
Advance housing policy at every level of government
Build and manage communities ourselves
Our Goals
Together with our partners, we focus on the greatest need – the massive shortage of affordable rental homes – to achieve three 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.
