Why work with HNP
We are a pioneering organization committed to improving access to home ownership by bringing together alternative sources of funding for the people.
We have done vigorous research to create a comprehensive database of funding sources which we collectively refer to as “Housing Grants”. Our research on grants was built from the ground up using authoritative sources including government housing agencies, other nonprofits, and expert peer reviewed research.
In addition to a comprehensive database of existing housing grants, we spearhead innovative new programs that help cities meet their urban planning needs while providing incentives for homeowners.
You can join our mission to build stronger, more resilient communities through the power of homeownership.
