The NHPF Quarterly January 2022
Thought Leadership: Navigating the Road that Lies Ahead 2021 presented its share of challenges for everyone in the affordable housing universe. NHPF continues to rise to meet these challenges, often through its robust thought leadership program. Examples include the article below from Multihousing News (December 22, 2021) featuring NHPF’s “7 Strategies for More Resilient Affordable Housing.” This well-researched piece is designed to inform and incent those with whom we work and enable us all to continue our mission-driven efforts in 2022 with a renewed sense of purpose.
7 Strategies for More Resilient Affordable Housing Many affordable home renters are just one natural disaster, financial crisis or health emergency away from housing insecurity.

Along with Enterprise Community Partners, the organization queried more than 100 affordable housing stakeholders including investors, housing agency leaders, developers, elected officials and others. Survey participants rated housing policy and other interventions from the past decade, divided into three distinct periods . . .
The NHPF 2021 Symposium: A Decade of Housing Vulnerability The 5th Annual NHPF Symposium was also an achievement in thought leadership as we brought together mayors of major municipalities to present their perspectives on creating more resilient housing. Specifically, Mayor Justin Elicker of New Haven espoused the best ways to leverage current land use and other policies; Mayor Francis Suarez of Miami highlighted exciting new funding sources for affordable housing such as cryptocurrency and Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston discussed the importance of partnerships. The event also showcased conversations with policy influencers and academics as well as Housing Agency partners.
