National Community Renaissance

What National Community Renaissance does

National Community Renaissance (National CORE) is a Rancho Cucamonga, California-based nonprofit affordable housing developer founded in 1992, operating across California, Texas, and Florida. Ranked No. 2 nationally among nonprofit affordable housing developers, the organization serves low-income individuals and families earning 30-60% of Area Median Income, seniors aged 62+, veterans and individuals with behavioral health challenges, and individuals with developmental disabilities through both family and senior housing communities, including permanent supportive housing.

The company operates a vertically integrated platform consisting of four core functions: Planning & Development (financing, design, and project management of award-winning affordable housing developments), in-house Construction via the COREvolution division (new construction, rehabilitation, infill podium development, mixed-use, senior, special needs, and green building technology), full-service Property Management through Havenencore Communities, and Resident Services via the Hope through Housing Foundation (child development, youth development, economic mobility, social work, and gerontology). The organization also operates NC Productions, a content studio producing the FYI Podcast, an event venue, and a historic winery.

National CORE's business model combines project-based revenue from development fees and government-backed financing (including Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, California Proposition 1 funds via the Homekey+ program, and HUD programs) with recurring revenue from property management fees across its owned and operated portfolio. Distribution occurs through direct resident applications, government program channels, and faith-based co-development partnerships with entities such as the Episcopal Church of the Blessed Sacrament and Episcopal Communities & Services.
