When every person has access to an affordable and environmentally sustainable home, we will all flourish. Achieving that vision is a collaborative endeavor. SAHF is a unique, mission-driven policy and practice collaborative, comprised of 12 leading nonprofit providers of affordable homes. Our members leverage each other’s best practices, collaborate with each other, and challenge one another to explore new ways to advance our shared mission. SAHF and its members also partner with the National Affordable Housing Trust, SAHF’s Industry Leadership Circle, philanthropic organizations, and innovation partners to source solutions from the field that accelerate the production and operation of quality, environmentally sustainable, affordable homes within healthy, equitable communities.
SAHF members are committed to working with residents and communities to create long-term affordability in homes that are healthy, sustainable and connected to the things we all need to thrive. As mission-driven nonprofits, SAHF members are long-term partners with residents and communities and continually reinvest in the homes they create and the communities and people they serve.
Together, our members are a high-impact learning and action network. They collaborate with each other and National Affordable Housing Trust, a joint venture of SAHF and the Low Income Investment Fund, on opportunities to leverage policy, capital and programs to create a world where every person has a healthy home in a flourishing community.
