Our Mission

Provide, facilitate, and advocate for inclusive, affordable housing for underserved communities in order to promote equitable, thriving and diverse neighborhoods in the greater DC, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) area.

Our Vision

A world where everyone has equitable access to housing in diverse and vibrant communities.

We’re fostering healthy and thriving communities through 5 core initiatives

Genesis Intergenerational Community

Build community connections across three generations while providing high-quality, affordable housing for aging seniors and young families.

Homes for Sale

Build new and renovate abandoned deteriorated homes into energy-efficient affordable homes to sell to low and moderate-income first-time homebuyers.

We secure funding to develop affordable rental units, single-family homes, and limited equity cooperatives.

We invest in preserving and renovating buildings to provide high-quality, deeply affordable rental and limited equity cooperative homes to reduce the shortage of housing that is affordable and available for extremely low income residents.

We leverage laws such as the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act to fight displacement and increase affordable housing opportunities for generations to come.
