We partner with higher educational institutions to attract and retain workers with first-class, affordable, proximate housing.

Our mission as a nonprofit organization is to assist low and moderate-income households, primarily graduate students and employees of post-secondary educational institutions, by providing these households with quality affordable housing near their place of study or employment, allowing these essential students and workers to afford housing in the communities they serve. 

Our Mission

Offering a Unique Solution

We recognize and understand the challenges post-secondary educational institutions face with recruitment and retention. Higher Education Partners offers a unique solution: new, high-quality employee housing at affordable rents adjacent to their institutions.

Our solution is fully customizable to meet your needs: the unit mix and size will be designed specifically for each institution, and we can provide ownership, financial, and management structuring to fit best the short- and long-term needs of your educational system.
