Better Housing Coalition

This past Saturday, our Young Professionals Board spent the morning volunteering at Shalom Farms, helping support their mission of increasing access to healthy food across our community.

A few hours of service can make a lasting impact. Thank you to our YP Board members for showing up, giving back, and helping cultivate stronger, healthier communities.

Communities thrive when residents have the resources and support they need. This NeighborWorks America Week, we’re spotlighting how we invest in people and places to drive lasting change.

Join us for a free Community Table Talk at Carter Woods on June 4!

This is an opportunity to enjoy a complimentary catered lunch, connect with neighbors, and learn more about Better Housing Coalition’s work to create affordable housing opportunities and strengthen communities across our region.

May is Housing Affordability Month.

Housing is more than shelter. It is the foundation for stability, opportunity, health, and economic mobility. As housing costs continue to rise, the need for safe, quality, and affordable homes has never been more urgent.

At Better Housing Coalition, we believe everyone deserves a place to call home and the chance to thrive in a strong community. Together, we can continue creating pathways to brighter futures through affordable housing.

Last Thursday was one for the books 🚲✨

Our BHC Young Professionals Board toured Richmond’s historic East End during our Church Hill Bike Tour, seeing firsthand how affordable housing and community investment are transforming neighborhoods across the city.

From learning about BHC’s impact to ending the night with rooftop views, networking, and happy hour, the evening was full of great conversations and even better energy.

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our mission of changing lives and transforming communities through high-quality affordable housing. 🧡

Our Young Professionals Board saw the impact up close at Colbrook, a former Green Book site transformed into affordable housing for families in Chesterfield.

Even before completion, hundreds of families are already seeking a place to call home. The need is real.

Proud to be building communities with purpose. 🧡

There’s still time to make a contribution!

When you make a gift to BHC, you provide the resources needed to turn these possibilities into reality.
