Long Island Housing Partnership

What Long Island Housing Partnership does

Long Island Housing Partnership, Inc. (LIHP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1988 and headquartered at 180 Oser Avenue, Suite 800, Hauppauge, New York, that develops and administers affordable housing programs across Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island. The organization's portfolio spans six core product lines: rental programs (income-qualified units administered with private developers through first-come, first-served or lottery processes), homeownership programs (Down Payment Assistance up to $50,000, newly constructed affordable homes, Community Land Trust units, and resales), rehabilitation programs (home improvement loans, ADU grants up to $125,000, lead abatement, and the NYS Resilient and Ready Home Repair Program), arrears programs (HUD American Rescue Plan-funded rental assistance in partnership with Towns of Babylon and Brookhaven), HUD-certified counseling programs (first-time homebuyer orientation, mortgage counseling, default and foreclosure prevention), and technical assistance services to developers (affirmative marketing, income eligibility reviews, grant writing, and housing lotteries). The technology foundation is a TFA Forms-based online application and document-upload portal with no public API, no proprietary models, and no disclosed AI components.

LIHP operates as a public-private partnership, generating revenue through a mix of program administration fees from municipal contracts (Brookhaven, Babylon, Huntington, Riverhead, Islip, Southampton, Southold), application fees of $50–$75, technical-assistance fees to developers, annual membership dues from 160+ member organizations, and tax-deductible donations and corporate sponsorships from major banks (Bank of America, Chase, Apple Bank, Bank United), utilities (National Grid, PSEG), and developers. Customer segments span low-to-moderate-income households, first-time homebuyers, seniors aged 55+, foreclosure-at-risk homeowners, private developers, Long Island employers (via the EAHP program), and municipal governments. Federal funding flows through HUD (HOME, HOME ARP) and the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation, with SONYMA as a state-level homeownership partner. Since inception, the organization reports having helped thousands of families purchase affordable homes and served 2,500+ families through foreclosure prevention counseling.
