WASHINGTON, DC, July 2, 2025 — The National Association for County Community and Economic Development (NACCED) is excited to welcome Advocates for Human Potential, Inc. (AHP) as the latest member to join NACCED as a Platinum Associate member!

NACCED’s associate members provide valuable products and services within the affordable housing, community development and economic development industry. These members are established industry leaders, committed to promoting and enhancing the success of counties implementing the nation’s affordable housing and community development programs.

For over 35 years, AHP has worked to strengthen health and human services systems, helping organizations and individuals reach their full potential. AHP provides tailored consulting, training and technical assistance, research and evaluation, and administrative support to address the complex challenges faced by individuals who have been marginalized — particularly those living with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and co-occurring issues.

AHP delivers comprehensive solutions to help transform behavioral health systems across the country. AHP’s core areas of focus include behavioral health, workforce development, and housing and homelessness. Whether working with individual counties or multijurisdictional collaboratives, AHP brings practical, scalable strategies to advance systems of care and improve lives.

“We understand the unique challenges counties face in delivering coordinated, effective behavioral health services. With decades of experience working across jurisdictions, we’ve seen how fragmentation can hinder progress. That’s why we focus on scalable, systems-level solutions that help counties collaborate, integrate services, and ultimately better serve their communities,” said Patrick Gauthier, Vice President of Strategic Development at AHP.

Attendees of the NACCED 50^th Annual Educational Conference and Training will get to meet AHP onsite, as they will be exhibiting as well as providing content during a breakout session, with more information on that session to be announced soon.
