Gulf Coast Housing Partnership was originally founded in 2006 by the Housing Partnership Network (HPN) in close collaboration with local civic leadership, network members from the Gulf Coast region, along with national financial institutions and foundations. With seed capital provided by Housing Partnership Network, generously matched by Enterprise Community Partners, GCHP strives to leverage its balance sheet on behalf of the partners and ventures to which it commits.
GCHP accomplishes that mission through project-based partnerships with community-based nonprofit, for-profit, and public sector organizations, to whom we provide industry-standard real estate development expertise and experience.
GCHP is a social enterprise that reflects the organizational learning and experience of the most successful developers, long-term owners and lenders in the Housing Partnership Network (“the Network”). Our business strategy is based on building a financially sound organization whose leadership is focused on deploying company assets, in partnership with other entities and communities, to achieve measurable and productive results both immediate and long-term. GCHP melds talent, resources and commitment with sustainable productivity, which has positioned GCHP as a catalytic housing production partner in communities across the Gulf Coast region.
