We acquire and preserve mixed-income properties where moderate to low-income workers—including teachers, first responders, grocery clerks and hospitality workers—and their families make their homes.
Life in a WHC community therefore makes it possible to envision an optimistic new future in which personal wealth building, home ownership, higher education and other goals are both possible and accessible.
