Enterprise Community Partners is a national nonprofit founded in 1982 that works on America's shortage of affordable rental homes. The organisation brings together solutions, capital and community development under one roof, with the stated aim of making a good home possible for the millions of families without one.

The organisation operates through four main functions. Solutions provides technical assistance and support to community development organisations working on the ground. Capital aggregates and invests billions of dollars to improve housing and strengthen communities across the country. Community Development builds and manages affordable housing communities directly. Housing Policy Advocacy works to advance housing policy at every level of government.
Enterprise reports 44 years of experience and billions of dollars invested in housing and communities. Its stated commitments include increasing housing supply, advancing racial equity after decades of systematic racism in housing, and an approach informed by the residents it serves. Resilience and upward mobility for residents and communities are identified as core goals.
