Appalachian Housing Partners
Program Overview
Appalachian Housing Partners provides solutions to housing issues faced by local residents. AHP assists current homeowners with repairs and improvements to substandard homes, and coordinates the construction of new homes for first time homebuyers.
To be eligible for housing services, clients must meet residency and income requirements. AHP serves families and individuals who live below the area median income, as determined by the Federal Housing Finance Board. Beneficiaries for repair and rehabilitation services must own their own homes and have lived there for at least one year.
The program matches government and private grants with local funds, volunteer crews and local contractors. Beneficiaries share the cost of rehabilitation through sweat equity and by paying on low-interest loans. Loan payments go into ADFAC’s revolving loan fund, which in turn is used to help additional clients.
