It's time to invest in housing providers who are deeply engaged in their own communities. Enterprise's Midwest Asset Management University (AMU) is a cohort-based, five-month training series designed for affordable housing developers, owner-operators, and housing providers. Our current cohort is supported by a grant from JPMorganChase. This generous grant supports asset management training, expert-led workshops, and technical assistance for developers from across the Midwest region.
