In the Deep South, Hope Enterprise Corporation is helping turn renters of single-family LIHTC properties into homeowners. Their Y16 innovation is a winner of the Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge led by Enterprise with support from the Wells Fargo Foundation. Enterprise Senior Director of Rural Communities Robin Wolff speaks with HOPE's Jena Reed about how the idea for Y16 emerged, where it has the potential to scale, and why homeownership is core to HOPE's mission.

The affordable housing landscape is increasingly defined by complexity. At the 2025 Central Midwest Partner Retreat, developers, funders, and asset managers came together to share what’s working, what’s changing, and how to maintain operations for the long-term.

South Central Industries, a nonprofit organization based in Shawnee, Oklahoma, is using a Section 4 grant awarded by Enterprise to increase capacity to carry out its mission to build safe, affordable housing for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

As Enterprise’s new Native American programs director, Jeff Ackley brings his vast experience and deep-rooted commitment to Indian Country to our organization’s Tribal Nations work.
