Engagement and Inclusion at MHP

Engagement at MHP

At MHP, we believe our greatest asset is our people. MHP’s staff engagement focuses on fostering social well-being by building supportive connections and conditions for all staff to thrive at work.

We encourage a dynamic workplace where continuous learning isn't just encouraged -- it's embedded in everything we do. Through mentorship programs, dedicated support for professional development, and regular skill-sharing sessions, we empower each team member to advance their professional capabilities and expertise.

We also understand that meaningful engagement extends beyond professional development. Our culture emphasizes mutual support, transparent communication, and recognition of achievements both big and small. Through our robust volunteer program, MHP Cares, employees are eligible for paid time off to support both on- and off-site community service. Examples of past MHP Cares events include packing meal bags for Community Servings in Jamaica Plain, participating in a Toy Drive through Omega Men in Action, and packing snack bags for guests at the Pine Street Inn. We're dedicated to strengthening both our internal connections and making a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.

Inclusion at MHP

Housing needs in Massachusetts span a wide range of communities, neighborhoods, and populations. To effectively address those varied housing needs, MHP depends upon a highly skilled team with a range of backgrounds, experiences, ideas and perspectives. To that end, MHP supports equal opportunity employment and complies with all federal and state employment and anti-discrimination laws in all of its programs. All employment-related decisions including recruitment, selection, evaluation, promotion, compensation, training and termination are made without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, sex, disability, marital status, status as a veteran, sexual orientation or gender identity, or any other protected status. We aspire to build and retain an inclusive team that reflects the people and communities we serve.

At MHP, differences are something to be celebrated, both among our staff and in our work to expand access to affordable housing across the Commonwealth. That’s the purpose of a volunteer working group of MHP staff members who meet regularly to promote a culture of respect and to ensure that everyone feels welcome, has strong career support, and feels safe bringing their authentic selves to work. Those efforts include various cultural celebrations, regular staff surveys, a variety of professional development opportunities, and a series of optional lunch-and-learn sessions with guest speakers.

We are mindful that not everyone is born with or afforded the same opportunities to grow and thrive. In all of our work at MHP, we strive to heal and repair the nation’s painful history of housing discrimination by providing financing tools and programs to help create communities of opportunity
