Community Experience Partnership

The Community Experience Partnership (CEP) connects experienced adults (age 50+) in efforts to support families facing housing crisis and to expand the supply of affordable housing for low and moderate income families.

Experienced adults are sharing knowledge, time, and resources that help facilitate the creation of environmentally friendly and low-cost housing.  They do everything from recruiting volunteers and marketing the program to providing direct support to households struggling to achieve stability.
