As you know, this past year has been a difficult one for most nonprofits. NHI is no exception. We are grateful for the support we’ve received during this period from the Ford, F. B. Heron, Bank of America, Chase and PNC Bank foundations.

We also want to thank our partner organizations Association for Community Design, National Community Reinvestment Coalition, National Low Income Housing Coalition, NeighborWorks America, and the statewide CDC associa- tions in Illinois, Indiana, and New Jersey. Their support helped us through challenging financial times.

Finally, thank you for your support, readers of Shelterforce, Shelterforce Online and Rooflines. You provide the compass needle that directs our work and puts meaning in our efforts. Thanks to all of you.
