Every individual on the planet requires three essentials: food, clothing and shelter. The NHP Foundation believes that shelter—a clean, secure affordable place to live—matters to every American family, no matter what its income level.

Yet, moderately-priced housing is out of reach for many families. According to Reforming America’s Housing Finance Market, a Report to Congress in February 2011, half of all renters spend more that a third of their income on housing, and a quarter spend more than half. This includes many families earning as much as three times the minimum wage.

We want to help those who are trying to help themselves—working families who are trying to move ahead.

With NHPF’s assistance, they can have a stable place to raise their families, access work, and stay on a firm financial footing.

As a result of our 22 years of experience in creating and preserving quality affordable housing, we know what needs to be done. We have the expertise, energy, relationships, and fiscal discipline to create thousands of additional units in the next few years.

Please join us in making affordable housing a reality for more American families. Richard F. Burns
