Housing Partnership Network (HPN) is an A+ Fitch-rated and AA- Aeris-rated national CDFI that has raised over $1 billion to support innovative solutions to our nation’s affordable housing crisis. As an Aeris-rated CDFI, HPN has directly committed over $700 million nationwide in support of affordable rental and homeownership housing solutions. Additionally, as a fund manager, it has overseen the deployment of over $300 million for the preservation and development of affordable housing across various programs, including the Housing Partnership Equity Trust, New Market Tax Credits for Homeownership, and the Community Aggregators Group.
Housing Partnership Network (HPN) is a nonprofit collaborative of more than 118 leading affordable housing and community development organizations, proving that strong, independent groups can achieve more together than alone. HPN members include developers, lenders, owners and operators, and homeownership advisors who work to produce and preserve affordable rental and for-sale housing across the country. Together, they scale solutions that expand access to safe, healthy, high-quality homes and provide nearly 500,000 low-wealth families each year with stability and pathways to build wealth.
In addition to national efforts, HPN supports place-based initiatives such as the preservation and transformation of hundreds of single-family homes into affordable rental and homeownership opportunities in the Twin Cities region, and a decarbonization “readiness” program in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles that helps members prepare their housing portfolios for clean energy investment.

Tulsa is a city shaped by history and resilience — yet like many American communities, it faces a severe shortage of affordable housing and the infrastructure needed to build at scale. Tulsa’s housing market faces a shortage of affordable homes and a persistent capital gap that limits development opportunities. The Fund exists to help close this gap — expanding the supply of quality, attainable housing while addressing long-standing patterns of underinvestment in parts of the city.
The Tulsa Housing Impact Fund was created in response to both this history and this promise: to help seed a new era of investment in communities long excluded from opportunity, and to support the development of housing that reflects equity, repair, and renewal.
