Priorities & Impact

Our Priorities in Northern California

• Develop a sustainable and regional response to foreclosure that addresses both the effects on communities, and the predicament of homeowners at risk of or in foreclosure.
   
• Ensure that San Francisco’s public housing residents live in thriving neighborhoods with access to high quality services and amenities through HOPE SF, a comprehensive community revitalization initiative to redevelop distressed public housing into thriving mixed-income communities.
   
• Improve the health and comfort of low-income residents by partnering with property owners and local governments to facilitate the green retrofitting of aging multi-family affordable buildings, to reduce energy and water use, stabilize operating costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
   
• Ensure that our nonprofit partners can weather the economic recession, strengthen their organizational infrastructure and be prepared to scale up their pipelines, by delivering financial and technical support.

Our Impact in Northern California

• Created more than 3,500 affordable homes for 7,500 people through more than $400 million of investment.
   
• Offered technical assistance, grants and training support to more than 23 community organizations and local governments to create affordable housing and provide services to low-income individuals and families.
   
• Supported 16 affordable, green developments totaling more than 1,100 homes. 
   
• Provided local families with the homes and services they need to have stable and productive lives through the Enterprise Community Loan Fund. In 2010, over 30% of the Fund's work was focused on California.
   
• Worked with partners to respond to the foreclosure crisis affecting our communities
 
• Partnered with HOPE-SF with the city of San Francisco to help create 2,500 affordable, energy-efficient apartments and assist with neighborhood stabilization efforts in the surrounding areas, transforming the lives of low-income residents.
