Next Home Grants 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.
Enterprise has the breadth, scale and expertise to do it. We support
community development organizations on the ground. We aggregate and
invest capital for impact in homes and communities. We advance
housing policy at every level of government. We build and manage
communities ourselves. Everything we do is informed by the residents
we serve.
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
- Support residents and strengthen communities to be resilient to the unpredictable and make upward mobility possible
Since 1982, we have invested $72 billion and created 1 million homes across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. All to make home and community places of pride, power and belonging.
