CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Odds are low for founders outside the housing and community development sector.
The network is member-based and deeply specialized in affordable housing. Without a connection to that ecosystem, access to this capital is unlikely regardless of rolling submissions.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm your organization fits the housing/community development focus — 1-2 hours
Review HPN membership and lending criteria on their site — 2-3 hours
Contact Housing Partnership Fund directly to discuss eligibility — 1 week turnaround
WORTH KNOWING
Housing Partnership Fund is a CDFI, meaning it offers loans, not grants — founders expecting free capital should clarify repayment terms and lending conditions before applying.
