Check out our September #CommunitySpotlight! This time we’re featuring The Spire, an AHC community in Alexandria. We developed The Spire through a partnership with The Episcopal Church of the Resurrection. You’ll hear from Claudia Silva, AHC Resident Engagement Specialist, about what Resident Services means in the community. The community also started free English classes this week taught by volunteers from a Goodwin Living community and The Episcopal Church of the Resurrection – The Spire’s amazing neighbors! Tune in next month for another #CommunitySpotlight.

Affordable Homes & Communities (AHC) is a community-focused, non-profit affordable housing developer. Since 1975, AHC Inc. has developed more than 50 apartment communities with more than 8,200 affordable apartments in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. AHC also provides extensive educational programs and social services onsite at our apartment communities to enhance residents’ lives – and the communities we serve. AHC prioritizes community-building, equity, and diversity throughout our organization - from thoughtful engagement with the residents we serve to long-time relationships with local government and community partners. Our outstanding real estate track record includes innovative development strategies, award-winning architectural design, cutting-edge environmental solutions, and long-time partnerships and quality developments that strengthen neighborhoods and local economies. AHC’s nationally recognized Resident Services program initiated nearly 30 years ago, is helping build stronger futures for more than 3,000 children, youth, and adults who live in our affordable housing communities through education programs, social services, community partnerships, and access to local support. Our team has earned the industry-leader CORES certification, which recognizes AHC’s ongoing commitment to the highest standards for resident services. Volunteer opportunities include working with elementary students in our Afterschool or Summer Program and teens in our Tutoring and College and Career Readiness Programs. We are proud that 100% of the students in our education programs have graduated from high school, with the majority going to college - most the first in their families to achieve this life-changing milestone.

AHC partnered with ULI Washington to explore a comprehensive vision for the Serrano Apartments in Arlington, Virginia, using Urban Land Institute's Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) process. After community discussions, stakeholder roundtables, and panel meetings, the TAP produced a set of recommendations for reimagining the buildings and surrounding property and presented them to AHC and the community last week. A huge thank you to ULI Washington and the panelists for their hard work and dedication to helping reimagine the Serrano community with the input of residents and other key community stakeholders. Thank you to Virginia Housing for helping make the project possible through a Community Impact Grant. Read more about the TAP and its proposed vision for the Serrano: https://lnkd.in/ei6-uk7z.
