NHPF Affordable Housing Blueprint

NHPF’s Operation Pathways: Where you live matters . . . and how you live matters even more. OPERATION PATHWAYS has 25 years of experience providing housing-based programs and services to residents living in NHPF’s affordable housing communities across the country. Operation Pathways’ successful approach to delivering high-quality programs is based on a philosophy that is impactful, innovative, and in-house. Resident services coordinators assess the needs of residents and respond by implementing programs and services to improve their quality of life. Our programs engage and empower residents in innovative and interactive ways and allow them to choose their own pathway to achieve their individual financial, academic, and health goals. Recent research conducted jointly with Enterprise Community Partners has revealed the strong link between children’s academic success and housing with strong service programs. 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 provides programs and services through four different pathways: Academic Achievement, Financial Stability, Healthier Living, and Aging in Place. Academic Achievement promotes ongoing education and training for children and adults leading to increased employment and scholastic opportunities. Healthier Living promotes activities and lifestyles that lead to physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Financial Stability provides residents with sound financial practices that lead to increased incomes, decreased expenses, and the building of assets. Through Aging in Place, senior residents are engaged in activities and programs that encourage socialization, increase social support, improve awareness and education, and prevent elder abuse.
