About Us

Mississippi Housing Partnership (MHP) is a private 501(c)3, non-profit housing organization, committed to creating a Mississippi where every family has access to safe, decent and affordable housing. Founded in 1991 as the Jackson Metro Housing Partnership, MHP was conceived as a public-private partnership between city government, local financial institutions, two public utilities and community-based groups. Today, MHP continues to operate programs which are aimed at increasing and sustaining homeownership while offering services which assist eligible families in realizing other affordable housing dreams.
