Mission
THE NATIONAL HOUSING ENDOWMENT WILL HELP ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES OF THE HOME BUILDING INDUSTRY, ENHANCE THE WAYS WE EDUCATE AND TRAIN FUTURE GENERATIONS OF LEADERS IN RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION AND INCREASE THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE ON HOUSING ISSUES. WE WILL DO SO BY SUPPORTING INNOVATIVE AND EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS THAT FURTHER EDUCATION, TRAINING, RESEARCH AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR EDUCATION PROGRAM IS THE UNPRECEDENTED HOMEBUILDING EDUCATION LEADERSHIP PROGRAM (H.E.L.P.). THE ENDOWMENT IS AWARDING MAJOR GRANTS TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND WORKING TO HELP THEM CREATE, EXPAND OR REFOCUS EXISTING RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS.
