See schedule osolutions:our solutions division delivers programmatic, policy, advisory and capacity-building at the national, state and local levels, working in urban, rural and suburban communities across the country in collaboration with thousands of Partners in the nonprofit, public and for-profit sectors. We have offices and dedicated staff in these markets: chicago, denver, detroit, gulf coast, mid-atlantic, new york, northern California, Ohio, pacific northwest, southeast, and southern California. We also support affordable and culturally appropriate housing on tribal lands and in rural areas. All our efforts are undergirded by our strategic goals to increase housing supply, advance racial equity and build resilience and upward mobility. We provided technical assistance and training to meet our Partners' greatest needs, identify policy levers that could shift resources to increase production and preservation in their communities, and support efforts to increase the resilience and sustainability of affordable housing nationwide. In 2023, the focus of our programmatic work was on four core efforts: 1) building resilient futures - expanding climate resilience and disaster recovery work through industry resources, grants to Partners and policy; 2) preservation next - preserving housing affordability and protect residents from displacement through technical assistance policy and capital 3) faith based development initiative - helping houses of worship turn their underutilized land into affordable homes and Community benefit structures; and 4) upward mobility - implementing Community designed strategies that support programs that advance upward mobility.
