About
National NeighborWorks Association is a national membership-based trade association
Our effectiveness in policy formation, access to funding and member benefits is greatly enhanced with a large and engaged membership. NNA represents 95% of the NeighborWorks chartered organizations (NWOs). With this membership level, we can provide directive and compelling calls to action for policy and funding, while providing membership benefits that either reduce operating costs or increase revenues. NNA is looking to expand its reach and effectiveness by looking toward other levels of membership to benefit others in the non-profit housing industry.
NNA Mission
NNA unites housing and community development practitioners to advocate for housing and economic opportunities for individuals, families, communities, and neighborhoods across the country.
NNA Vision
NNA envisions playing a central role in creating a united housing and community development field that produces desirable, healthy and thriving communities.
History
NNA has been an advocate for better neighborhoods and housing for low- to moderate-income American families since 1996. As the voice of NeighborWorks® organizations (NWOs) nationwide, NNA advocates by giving voice to the issues faced by its membership of ground-level practitioners and experts. NNA actively offers solutions to advance affordable housing and economic opportunities for communities and families across the country.
