International Housing Partnership
The International Housing Partnership (IHP) is a collaborative of 170 high-capacity nonprofits from Australia, Canada, the UK, and the U.S. that collectively operate one million affordable homes and house more than 2.5 million people.
We use private sector strategies to achieve ambitious social housing missions resulting in high-quality affordable homes in thriving communities. Anchored on a high-level peer exchange among entrepreneurial leaders, members of the International Housing Partnership share innovations and seek common solutions to improve, adapt, and expand our businesses to better serve our communities.
IHP facilitates dynamic exchanges of information and experiences among its members, and fosters deeper collaboration and exploration on business practices and creation of social enterprises.
