Social Impact
Offering more than a roof over one’s head, WHC creates an enriching and vibrant community replete with amenities and services that let residents create a bright future for themselves and their families.
Placemaking and Community
From affordable childcare to healthy foods to career development, WHC’s robust commitment to resident opportunity and wellness creates places of trust and belonging. Homes that low-and middle-income workers—especially African Americans and other people of color—can afford are a bedrock for creating individual opportunity and a more equitable and inclusive region.
With an innovative model that preserves affordable homes, WHC is advancing a new vision for inclusive and diverse residential communities where low- and middle-income residents can grow wealth and open the door to new opportunities.

Building Opportunity
In addition to stabilizing rents, our strategies include transformative placemaking to create inclusive communities where workers and families can be near their employment, and access high-performing schools and community amenities.
In keeping with our deep commitment to equity, justice, and inclusivity, WHC also shifts the property manager-resident relationship from transactional to transformational and prioritizes respect, support and engagement so residents can prosper as active and engaged neighbors.
