National CORE announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the organization’s 2026-2028 Strategic Plan, a roadmap that strengthens financial resilience, diversifies revenue sources and reinforces National CORE’s position as one of the nation’s leading nonprofit affordable housing developers.
Grounded in its five pillars – Innovative, Nationally Recognized Leaders, Resident-Focused, Unparalleled Expertise and Transformative – the strategy reflects National CORE’s evolution from a housing developer into a vertically integrated enterprise platform built to address the housing crisis at scale.
The plan prioritizes disciplined growth across development, construction and property management while expanding fee-based enterprises that generate reliable, recurring revenue. Expansion of development into Texas and Florida will further balance the portfolio and reduce concentration risk. Together, these initiatives are designed to enhance liquidity, support long-term debt capacity and strengthen the organization’s financial profile.
National CORE’s integrated model, which spans development, construction, property management and resident services, remains a defining differentiator in the sector. By building enterprises from its core competencies – including third-party property management, capital improvements and sustainability consulting – the organization is reinforcing financial stability while deepening mission impact.
The Board-approved strategy also emphasizes proactive asset management, operational efficiency and technology modernization to protect portfolio performance and support scalable growth without increasing overhead. These measures build on National CORE’s history of strong financial performance and prudent balance sheet management.
“At a time when affordable housing demand continues to outpace supply, this strategic plan ensures National CORE remains a stable, disciplined and innovative partner to capital providers and public agencies,” National CORE President Michael Ruane said. “We are expanding housing production while strengthening the enterprise platform that supports long-term financial resilience and community impact.”
National CORE has begun implementation of the 2026-2028 Strategic Plan and will continue to align execution with measurable benchmarks, strong governance oversight and institutional accountability.
