Preserve Affordable Housing
In partnership with local housing nonprofits, we provide funds to help existing homeowners repair and improve their homes…and stay in their neighborhood.
The character of a neighborhood is built over time, and owner-occupants with deep roots and connections across the community provide a critical level of social stability. A strong network of homeowners can help keep a neighborhood safe, stable, affordable, and attractive to a diverse mix of residents, especially in the face of quickly changing demographics and/or gentrification.
GHF’s Homeowner Preservation Program (HOPP) is designed to assist low- and moderate-income homeowners in making critical repairs to their owner‐occupied homes. These funds can be used to correct health and safety issues, provide accessibility for disabled persons, repair or replace major home infrastructure, add energy efficiency measures, and address structural problems.
