CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Odds depend heavily on whether your organization fits the nonprofit affordable housing niche this network is built around.
The funder page does not publish approval rates or application volume. Rolling submissions mean there is no single competitive window, but the membership-driven model suggests relationships and organizational fit matter significantly.
WHAT IT TAKES
Review membership and lending eligibility on the HPN site — 1-2 hours
Contact HPN directly to discuss your organization's fit for their Housing Partnership Fund or lending products — 1-2 weeks
Submit a formal loan inquiry or application if directed to do so — Varies by product
WORTH KNOWING
HPN explicitly frames its lending as filling market gaps that individual organizations cannot access alone — if your nonprofit housing project lacks access to conventional capital, that gap is the strongest case to make.
