Housing Partnership Network, Inc. www.housingpartnership.net Success Story: Gulf Coast Housing Partnership, New Orleans, LA HPN created the Gulf Coast Housing Partnership (GCHP) to lead the rebuilding of housing and communities in Louisiana and Mississippi. This innovative public/private partnership grew out of the recovery efforts of HPN members that assisted thousands of families after the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. As partners shared strategies for helping families in crisis find housing in their own communities, HPN recognized the need for a nonprofit that could address the permanent housing and rebuilding needs of New Orleans and the broader region. In 2009, GCHP was spun off from HPN management and is now a locally-operated nonprofit housing entity.
