Operation Pathways
NHPF’S COMMITMENT AND MISSION TO PRESERVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING is not realized through bricks and mortar alone, but in union with programs and services offered to
residents. Residents in NHPF communities have access to a wide variety of educational, health, and enrichment programming through Operation Pathways, an affiliate of NHPF. Operation Pathways believes that affordable housing combined with wrap-around services increases housing stability for low and moderate income families. Feeling secure about housing not only relieves families of the stress of becoming homeless, but it also provides them with the foundation to build healthier lives for themselves and their children. Operation Pathways’ programs and services complement housing, thereby creating healthy communities in which families thrive. Operation Pathways is a CORES certified resident services provider and was the first resident services provider in the country to receive this distinction. CORES certification is awarded to affordable housing service providers based on the strength and quality of their infrastructure, systems, programs, and outcomes. Operation Pathways’ successful approach to delivering high-quality programs is based on a philosophy of program delivery that is impactful, innovative, and in-house. At each NHPF property, resident services coordinators implement site-based programs and services, based on the needs of the residents. Operation Pathways categorizes its comprehensive programming into four components:
PATHWAY TO ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT focuses on the educational needs of residents. Operation Pathways promotes academic success and lifelong learning as a means to break the cycle of poverty. Operation Pathways partners with
organizations that design and implement afterschool and summer programs for school-age children which improve academic success and produce significant, measurable results.
