Supporting programs across the state that will strengthen the affordable housing industry.
professional development programs
Merritt is proud to support our partner organizations through internships, career development programs, and workforce initiatives that strengthen the affordable housing industry. Informed by insights from our annual Job Demand Study, we invest in programs that address workforce challenges, create unique pathways to a wide range of career opportunities, and help build a stronger, well-equipped talent pipeline.
Through Commitment to Community (C2C), we’re investing in the people who build, finance, and steward affordable housing. We believe solving the housing crisis requires investing not only in housing, but also in the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of our communities for years to come.
