Improving the lives of families in diverse communities across the country

NeighborWorks America comprises nearly 250 strong, capable nonprofit housing and community development organizations. One or more of these organizations are likely driving positive community change in your area today.

NeighborWorks America network organizations are effective because they are resident-led, centered around equity, and truly representative of their community’s goals. Many are working in smaller urban, rural, and Native communities that other nationally focused organizations don’t reach.  

Collectively, NeighborWorks organizations are one of the largest producers of affordable housing in the country. In 2023, they produced more affordable multifamily units than the top ten for-profit developers combined. In total, they own or manage 204,000 affordable rental housing units and have housed over 330,000 low-income individuals and families. They have created over 18,000 homeowners and have made over $10 billion in community investments.

Your Support

Makes the greatest impact with national scale that’s locally driven.

Our NeighborWorks America customer base gives us the ability to deploy funds at a financial and geographic scale that far exceeds other opportunities.

Helps create more equitable and inclusive community engagement.

Unlike many community development approaches that impose solutions from the outside, our NeighborWorks network customer base uses a community-first approach driven by the voices and aspirations of local residents. This helps to break down barriers and empower local resident leadership.

Reaches the hard-to-reach places where they’re needed most.

Unlike other national intermediaries that primarily serve large metro areas, we can help you reach urban, suburban, rural, and Native communities. With us, your funds get to the often-overlooked communities and to the people who are working for equity and inclusion in their own neighborhoods.

Works as hard as the people they serve.

Funds can support a wide variety of affordable housing and community development initiatives, allowing us to target your support to achieve any number of purposes.

Let's find ways to partner together!
