We're proud to partner with Trust for Public Land on a resource that will create new ways of thinking about how we integrate parks and open space into affordable communities. #AffordableHousing #Parks #10MinuteWalk
Parks and housing. For too long, these critical needs have been treated as competing priorities. But they aren’t. In fact, they work better, and more equitably, when planned together. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that Trust for Public Land and our #10MinuteWalk program is partnering with Enterprise Community Partners to develop a first-of-its-kind guidebook on how to meaningfully integrate parks and open space into new affordable housing. Combining the expertise of housing leaders and parks practitioners, this guidebook will offer real-world case studies and policy models for city leaders, developers, policymakers, and advocates. We’ll be sharing more in the months ahead. It’s the kind of collaboration we need right now, and this is just the beginning. If you work at the intersection of housing, parks, urban design, or open space planning, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re proud to celebrate the grand opening of Aspire Apartments, an 86-unit affordable housing community in Southeast Washington, DC! The majority of these apartments are affordable to households earning 60% AMI or less, and 18 of them are reserved for families earning 30% AMI or less through the DC Department of Housing and Community Development’s Local Rental Subsidy Program. Aspire is the first project developed through Enterprise Community Development’s Let’s Build Accelerator program, and we’re proud to partner with Durrani Development to realize this vision.

“The bricks and mortar don’t speak, it’s the people that speak.” At the Sojourner Truth Neighborhood Center in New Orleans’ Faubourg Lafitte community, children discovered the power of storytelling through film. They shared their own stories, listened to others, and built confidence, creativity, and connection along the way. We’re proud to support this summer camp program in Lafitte, and the continued investment in New Orleans communities.

Ditto, Shaun. It is our collective responsibility to seize the moment and bring affordability to everyone in this country. Read more about a national agenda for preservation below.

Preservation. It's only when we save what we've got that we can ultimately dig our way out of our nationwide affordable housing deficit. In my latest piece for Affordable Housing Finance, I reflect on the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which delivered a historic expansion of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, our most effective tool not just for creating but preserving affordable homes. Now, the opportunity is here to leverage this new infusion of energy into driving down costs for millions of American families. Because here's the reality: Americans are looking for tangible solutions that make a real difference in their daily lives and deliver on the affordability that’s been promised. To meet this challenge, new construction alone won’t get us there; we must aggressively preserve the affordable housing within our stock. In my piece, I focus on optimizing our use of the Housing Credit, promoting preservation in rural and disinvested communities through efficient use of Opportunity Zones, and tapping into innovative solutions to upgrade homes and make them more resilient over the long term, all while ensuring we're getting the most bang for our buck. These recommendations are only a handful of the many at our disposal. It's our collective responsibility, across government, as providers, investors, state agencies, and partners, to seize the moment and bring affordability to everyone in this country. https://lnkd.in/eBb9yGyK

Twenty years after Hurricane Katrina, the GO Zone Act stands as one of the boldest federal interventions in disaster recovery. It amplified Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, unlocked massive housing construction and rehab in the Gulf states, and helped over 21,000 homes rise out of the storm’s wreckage in Louisiana and Mississippi. But now comes the bigger challenge: preserving what was built. Because, unless policymakers act, the affordability and resilience gains could slip away. Our Gulf Coast Policy Director John Sullivan lays out a path forward: https://bit.ly/3WgwDfi

An inspiring evening of joy, celebration, and recognition. This month, we convened affordable housing leaders and advocates in Los Angeles for Southland Social, an annual fundraiser to strengthen affordable housing developers and those on the frontlines addressing the region’s homelessness crisis. We were proud to recognize honorees Lourdes Castro Ramirez, East LA Community Corporation, and Wells Fargo for their vision, commitment, and tireless efforts to expand affordable housing and strengthen sustainable, equitable communities. Their achievements are both inspiring and a call to action — showing how lasting change in our neighborhoods begins with people dedicated to doing what’s right. A special thank-you to U.S. Bank, our presenting sponsor, and to everyone who made the evening possible.
