Kat Aristyl and Molette Smith, both U.S. Army veterans, were searching for new places to live in Georgia this summer. Both women found homes with help from Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, Inc. (ANDP) a NeighborWorks organization that creates and preserves affordable housing.

As we begin a new year — and a new decade — NeighborWorks America's network organizations are hard at work, doing what they do best. Some are exploring on new partnerships. Some are focusing on matching residents with new homes, with workforce training and with resources for staying sober or aging in place. Network leaders say they're finding inspiration in last year. And the lessons they've learned are serving as a roadmap for the year ahead.
