MEETING NEW OPPORTUNITIES
IN 2015, OPERATION PATHWAYS made the transition from a division of The NHP Foundation (NHPF) to an independent not-for-profit corporation and NHPF affiliate. Holding a leadership position in both companies, I have had a unique vantage point to watch these carefully made plans unfold. From the NHPF perspective, this corporate restructuring has provided a perfect vehicle for reinforcing our shared commitment to service-enriched affordable housing. While we have worked hard to meet this opportunity to make Operation Pathways an independent organization, service delivery remained seamless and our residents continued to benefit from a wide variety of programs. This was evident as I visited with Brighten Up summer campers, adults improving their health through our Oldways cooking classes, and seniors learning how to save more and protect their finances from fraud. None of Operation Pathways’ 2015 accomplishments would be possible without our dedicated staff, generous national and local partners and funders, committed volunteers, and the residents who look to our programs to enhance the quality of their lives. You will meet some of those residents in this annual report. We owe all of you a debt of gratitude for the vital roles you have played in this transition, and for that you have my sincere thanks. In meeting new opportunities, Operation Pathways is changing and evolving, but service-enriched affordable housing remains the vibrantly beating heart of what we do. I hope that you enjoy this look back at our successes and continue to be engaged as we write the next chapters of the Operation Pathways story.
