Housing – the cost and availability of it – ranks at the top of almost everyone’s list today as one of the most talked about issues in Broward County . The need for affordable workforce housing has never been greater while the challenge of providing affordable housing for working families continues to grow. Its’ importance cannot be overstated, but solutions are complex.

The Broward Housing Partnership, Inc. (BHP) - a coalition of local businesses, community groups, developers, bankers, and government officials - was formed in early 2005 to pioneer new approaches to solving the housing problem in Broward County .
If your company ever wanted to make a real economic development difference in our community, this is the time to do it. By investing in the Broward Housing Partnership, you will support many efforts to transform lives, strengthen our workforce and address issues which government won’t or cannot do.
Preservation and Stabilization Strategies. The FAU IOG Financing Affordable Housing and Community Development in Today's Market: Preservation and Stabilization Strategies workshop is designed to provide information to key stakeholders in addressing challenges to financing housing and community development projects.
Build alternative funding sources. Our new BHP Housing Trust Fund and BHP Community Land Trust are designed to help build rental housing, provide new homeownership opportunities for our workforce and assist special needs housing.
Get the latest and best affordable housing data. Through our recently published “Housing Needs Assessment” we have achieved the most significant database of affordable housing information in Broward’s history. This landmark analysis focuses on housing as an economic development issue. Supporting the Broward Housing Partnership will result in an annual benchmark report of success, challenges and opportunities.
Provide sorely needed assistance to developers and government agencies. Our mission is to pioneer new approaches to affordable and workforce housing solutions. We work closely with developers in designing critical workforce housing opportunities as well as forging state, county and local government initiatives.
Make our community aware of the growing crisis and solutions needed. Through our website, email blasts, community partnership forums, and public presentations, the Broward Housing Partnership is the one reliable, comprehensive and balanced source of information about this critical issue.
Please support these lasting initiatives in our community by making a contribution to the Broward Housing Partnership. Just fill out the attached Membership Form.
P.S. By the end of this month, another 1,080 affordable and workforce rental apartments and homes will be needed to be built to address our growing workforce. Please send your contribution to the Broward Housing Partnership today.
