The Goodwill redevelopment project is moving forward, thanks to milestone funding from Arlington County.

When Shae F. and her family were displaced in July, they started staying with friends while she looked for a new place to live. In her search for affordable housing, she found Allium Place.

When resident Tonesha Nolan moved into Fort Henry with her three young children, she received a gift that made her feel at home — a welcome basket assembled by AHC volunteers and delivered by onsite Resident Engagement Specialist Grace James.  

The volunteers of Affordable Homes & Communities (AHC) are the heartbeat of AHC's Resident Services. To honor that impact, AHC hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Event filled with food, conversation, and gratitude.

April is National Volunteer Month — a time to recognize the incredible individuals who give their time to support our communities. In 2024, more than 1,300 volunteers donated over 12,300 hours to AHC, helping with food distribution, tutoring, mentorship, community events, and more. We're grateful to have them join us in keeping residents at the heart.

In 2013, after moving from a smaller place to a three-bedroom apartment at The Berkeley — now known as The Apex — an AHC community in Arlington, Nissreen Belal discovered AHC’s education programs and wanted her three children to get involved.

Kim Zamora, a high school senior in AHC’s College and Career Readiness (CCR) program, recently received a Gold Key.

Last Wednesday on "TODAY with Jenna & Friends," AHC volunteer Aliyah was recognized for her nonprofit, One Word Reading Initiative.

Two alumni of AHC’s education programs have returned as Program Assistants. In their roles, they offer academic and personal support.
