"The Enterprise Foundation believes an affordable home should be more than simply shelter. It should be a healthy, high performance pathway out of poverty. It should be sustainable and smartly located in livable communities. We see housing needs--and solutions--as integral to other important priorities, including health, economic opportunity and environmental protection. Enterprise is pleased to join with other organizations seeking holistic solutions to urgent, interconnected needs to sponsor the New Partners for Smart Growth Conference."
