The numbers are big, but our impact goes deeper than digits. We focus on the impact of the homes we build and preserve, and the dollars we invest in communities and with our partners.
We measure our impact across three levels — systems, communities, and people — because lasting change requires a tailored approach and ongoing feedback at each level. At Enterprise, we have the full range of capabilities to address all three levels, making our theory of impact a reality. Here’s how:
Our Impact On Systems
Fighting Income Bias | New York
Not long after her Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, Elizabeth Barnes lost her job. When she was looking for a new apartment, all her applications were rejected — because she needed to pay rent with a housing voucher. Through our advocacy, and by working together on a campaign with residents like Elizabeth, we secured a critical win: a statewide ban on source-of-income discrimination. Elizabeth and her daughter now happily live in an apartment she can pay for with her housing voucher. Watch Elizabeth’s story.
For our impact to be real and lasting, we need to create systems change that helps dismantle the legacy of racism in housing. We’re investing $3.5 billion in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and other historically marginalized housing providers to change the types of homes that get built, where they're built, who builds them, and the wealth that they generate.

Our Impact On Communities
Columbia Heights Village | Washington, D.C.
In a high-cost D.C. community, we helped preserve over 400 homes as affordable, and ensured that the tenant’s association became partial owners of the buildings. We brought the full breadth of our capabilities, providing over $100,000 in mortgage debt and equity investments, and a Section 4 Capacity Building grant to make it possible. “We are a success story,” said Josephine Hodges, a member of the tenant’s association and long-time resident. “We’ve shown that we as residents deserve the right to ownership.” Read the full story of Columbia Heights Village.
Our Impact On People
The Owen Family | Midvale, Utah
Cameron Owen works an overnight shift, and then takes college courses during the day. With three children in school, he and his wife, Callie, needed an affordable but spacious home near Salt Lake City, and close to public transit. They moved into Canyon Crossing, a green-certified development financed with $14.5 million in housing tax credit equity from Enterprise. “If you go to our old apartment versus here,” Callie said, “you would say: ‘wow, you really moved up in life!’”
