A Reflection on 30 Years
A Commitment to What Matters
30 years. 30 years of forging partnerships. 30 years of increasing opportunity through the vehicle of affordable housing. HAND was born with the mission of equipping industry practitioners with the tools needed to create thriving communities. Three decades and 450 members later, the mission remains the same, but with an even deeper commitment. As a “change association” leveraging the power of our cross-sector collective, HAND members share the common goal of developing and preserving affordable housing in the Capital Region. In spite of the challenges we face and widening gaps in the communities we serve, we commit to navigate these waters with real intention, placing our communities and their humanity at the center of all we do. We are rising up to meet this moment. Join us for the next twelve months, as we celebrate three decades of EDUCATION and ACTIVATION.
