Preservation & Repair
The Preservation & Repair program works to preserve the existing affordable housing inventory, improve accessibility and safety of the homes through critical home repairs, and revitalize neighborhoods and community spaces.
Veterans Housing Initiative
Through the Veterans Housing Initiative, you can help us provide homes, community, and hope to U.S. Veterans, military service members, and their families.
