With MacArthur support, the Housing Partnership Network hosted a four-day program for the leaders of 80 non-profit and social housing organizations working in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia. These leaders collectively manage more than one million homes for seniors and families with low incomes, physical disabilities, and other special needs. Discussions highlighted the growing fiscal challenges and budget cutbacks taking place in all four participating countries, and the new business approaches and innovative financing methods that leaders are pursuing to continue providing safe, decent, and affordable housing for people of modest economic means.
