The International Housing Partnership (IHP) is a collaborative of more than 200 high-capacity housing nonprofits from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the United States. The purpose of the partnership is to facilitate the dynamic exchange of information and experience among its members, and to foster deeper collaboration and exploration on business practices and the creation of social enterprises. It’s the shared values of IHP’s members that enables the partnership to create a unique synergy and derive significant value from their work together, despite fundamental differences in the political, financial, and cultural contexts of each country. IHP’s primary mechanism for peer exchange and learning is its annual Leadership Exchange, during which senior leaders from the four country networks gather to discuss approaches to policy and business that impact the development, operation, and sustainability of social housing.
