Funding opportunities NAAHL has a substantial revenue base ($50M-$100M) and ongoing grant activity, including recent Citi Foundation grants. This suggests a readiness to engage with funding partners, grant programs, and proposal collaborations to support affordable housing and community development initiatives.

Leadership expansion Recent hires including a new president/CEO and senior communications director indicate strategic growth and revised messaging. This presents an opening to align with leadership in communications, policy lobbying, and program outreach to boost sponsorships, partnerships, and joint policy initiatives.

Policy and practice influence NAAHL positions itself as a bipartisan policy broker and incubator of best practices, with active events and conferences. Opportunities exist to offer research collaborations, data analytics services, training programs, and policy-facing products to support their stakeholder network.

Public-private network As an alliance linking banks, CDFIs, public, private, and nonprofit lenders, NAAHL is a prime channel for co-branded programs, pilot financing initiatives, and cross-sector partnerships that expand affordable housing financing and scalable community development solutions.

Digital and outreach needs With a tech stack leveraging Squarespace, WordPress, Google Cloud, and marketing tools, there is potential to offer website optimization, CRM/automation enhancements, content marketing, and analytics services to improve engagement with policymakers, lenders, and industry partners.
