The Pathways Difference

As a nonprofit developer, we are not beholden to the same revenue goals of a for-profit developer. We build housing that is not only deeply affordable, but also well-designed and built to last. In our developments, we pledge to:

• Combat “digital redlining” - the practice of creating or perpetuating inequities through lack of access to the internet and other technology – by ensuring the internet is accessible to all tenants.
• Use green resources to reduce both energy use and cost.
• Ensure adequate light throughout our units and, when possible, install ceiling fans.
• Provide appliances that are energy efficient and good quality.
• Build storage solutions so individuals and families have adequate space to store their belongings.
• Pursue designs that fit the existing character of the neighborhood.
• Focus on true affordability, meaning tenants pay no more than 30% of their income on housing, even if their income is $0.
• Remove as many barriers to obtaining housing as possible, including poor or nonexistent credit history, criminal history, past evictions, and poor rental history.
• Engage the community in the development of our projects to ensure our developments foster community rather than dividing it.
