Northern Virginia Affordable Housing Alliance: Providing Accessible and Affordable Housing for All
The Northern Virginia Affordable Housing Alliance (NVAHA) is a non-profit organization that aims to provide accessible and affordable housing for all. The organization was founded in 1993 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized the need for affordable housing in Northern Virginia. Since then, NVAHA has been working tirelessly to promote social equity and shared prosperity through public policies and financial investments that develop and preserve affordable housing.
What We Do
At NVAHA, we believe that affordable housing is about so much more than just providing shelter. It's about creating communities where people can thrive, regardless of their income level. That's why we approach our work through the lens of its broader societal impact at the local, state, and national level.
Our primary goal is to inform policymakers, community leaders, and the general public about the importance of accessible and affordable housing. We collaborate with other organizations to advocate for policies that support our mission.
We also work directly with developers to create new affordable housing units or preserve existing ones. Our team provides technical assistance throughout the development process to ensure that projects are financially feasible while still meeting our high standards for quality.
Finally, we act as a resource for individuals seeking affordable housing options in Northern Virginia. We maintain an up-to-date database of available units across the region and provide counseling services to help people navigate the complex process of finding a home they can afford.
Why It Matters
Affordable housing is essential not only for individuals but also for entire communities. When people have access to safe, stable homes they can afford, they are better able to focus on other aspects of their lives such as education or employment opportunities.
Moreover, research has shown that neighborhoods with diverse income levels are more resilient than those where everyone falls into one economic bracket. By promoting mixed-income communities through our work at NVAHA, we're helping build stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods across Northern Virginia.
