Communities are not solely made up of buildings and grounds, but individuals and families. The NHP Foundation (NHPF), in its preservation of quality affordable housing, strives to empower its residents by providing the skills and programs necessary to break the cycle of poverty. NHPF is working to build partnerships with various government agencies and corporate sponsors to expand and enhance the resident services programs in our communities.
