HPI was incorporated as a private nonprofit in 1990. Our mission is to create, sustain and promote access to affordable housing opportunities. We strive to be the premier organization that strengthens neighborhoods and improves lives through education, preservation and development of affordable housing. The charter team of Bingham Fellows, a program of Leadership Louisville, recommended the creation of a non-profit private corporation to assemble the resources necessary to address affordable housing. In 1990, Louisville Housing Development Corporation, created in 1988 as a city-funded non-profit corporation, became The Housing Partnership, Inc. Independent directors composed of private, non-profit, and public constituencies oversee policy and operations. Ms. Jo Ann Rooney, President of Spalding University, now serves as chair of the board of directors.
