WELCOME IN!
Innovative Housing, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides high quality affordable housing to individuals and families, along with services to help residents maintain their housing stability, access opportunities, and break the cycle of poverty.
CREATING SOLUTIONS TO UNMET HOUSING NEEDS
Innovative Housing's mission is to efficiently and economically develop, preserve, and operate high-quality, affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households and to help our residents maintain their housing stability, improve their quality of life, and access opportunities to break the cycle of poverty.
We implement our mission within a framework designed to embrace, preserve and protect history; celebrate public art in all of its forms; respect the dignity of individuals and families; and provide a foundation for success to all those we serve.
WHAT WE DO
IHI provides safe, affordable housing tailored to community needs: this includes workforce housing, family-sized apartments, homes for people with disabilities, and permanent supportive housing for people transitioning out of homelessness.
IHI creates and preserves affordable housing through new construction, acquisition/renovation of existing properties, and the careful restoration/repurposing of historic properties.
As a long-term owner and operator of affordable housing, IHI prioritizes strong asset management to keep our rental properties well-maintained, financially stable, and positively contributing to their communities.
IHI provides resident services that help our residents maintain their housing stability, pursue opportunities, and break the cycle of poverty. Our team supports over 1,200 residents each year in their housing, careers, and overall well-being.
