Building homes, securing futures, and strengthening communities.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to achieving our mission of enriching Washtenaw County through a legacy of affordable homeownership for households of low-income. We know that a history of discrimination in U.S. housing policy is one of the primary drivers of racial inequities that persist in our local community, and our practices and programs will be informed by this history in order to create lasting change. 

We are committed to building a culture of humility, open dialogue, and accountability, so that staff feel empowered to bring their whole selves to work every day. In our dedication to diversity, we celebrate and embrace cultural differences as we create an organization reflective of the broader community we serve. In our pursuit of equity, we aim to establish practices and policies that reduce bias and provide access to opportunities. And in our devotion to inclusion, we continuously work to make all feel welcome, respected, and valued.

the power of homeownership

HHHV helps low-income families build home equity and generational wealth. Homeownership is just the beginning.

Improving affordable homeownership leads to numerous outcomes that extend beyond the house, such as greater economic stability, access to quality education, increased civic and social engagement, better health, and reduced environmental footprint.
