IMPACT REPORT 2026
“ …housing is foundational, and true opportunity is built when housing is paired with services, support, and community.
Letter to our Partners, Residents, and Supporters
STRONGER TOGETHER is more than the theme of this year’s report—it is the principle that guides the work of The NHP Foundation and Operation Pathways every day. It reflects our belief that housing is foundational, and true opportunity is built when housing is paired with services, support, and community. Providing affordable housing alone is not enough to meet the growing and increasingly complex needs of today’s residents. Across the country, families
and older adults are navigating rising costs of living, limited access to healthcare, and persistent economic instability—challenges that too often put stable housing at risk. At The NHP Foundation and Operation Pathways, we work to change this narrative through a service-enriched housing model that integrates stable, affordable housing with on-site, ERIC W. PRICE NHPF PRESIDENT & CEO
resident-centered programming. When we meet residents where they live and foster an environment of trust, families maintain stable housing, improve their financial security, and build healthier, more resilient lives. Not only that, but a report released by Abt Associates and Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF) this year also proves something we have seen in practice for a long time—service-enriched housing performs better—with improved net operating income and performance metrics, reinforcing the importance of our work.
This double bottom line—thriving communities and a resilient portfolio— requires commitment and investment. Resident services coordinators receive ongoing support and training for the many hats they wear. From youth education to workforce development and community engagement, resident services coordinators meet residents where they are with individualized supports. Through this investment, we are creating high-quality affordable housing that centers community in its ethos. We can’t and don’t do this work alone. From our capital markets partners to our corporate donors and sponsors, to individuals who want to give back to their neighbors and their communities, this work is made possible because of your commitment to our shared values. We truly are stronger together. KENNETH D. WHITE OP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & COO
