Our Story
Affordable Housing Solution Corporation has a long history of building and delivering high-quality, efficient buildings on time and within budget. This history allows us to carefully evaluate projects to ensure they integrate seamlessly into the existing local community while meeting the needs of future residents.
Our team brings decades of experience managing properties that are accessible to homebuyers earning a local living wage, much of which is focused on housing for seniors and people living with disabilities. We do so through first mortgages and guarantees, government-funded subsidies, forgivable capital loans, and private investments.
With more than XX housing projects completed, AHSC continues to hone our approach and deliver exceptional houses that people love to call home.
