Closing out our week with a #philanthropyfriday feature on Madison House! These UVA volunteers consistently seek opportunities to support our work, which took the form this week of deck staining for a city client 😊 We're grateful for such steadfast partners, and wishing all a safe weekend!

This #ThrowbackThursday we're celebrating the start of one of our long-term partnerships in the work of affordable housing, @leapva.bsky.social! In 2010, our orgs came together to provide energy efficiency in Charlottesville, expanding out to the county 5 years later. The work continues to this day!

While AHIP formed in 1976, just two years prior came the organization's original sister group, CHIP! Originally made purely with the city in mind, our founders came to realize that county need was just as great. Thus, AHIP was born, and fused with its predecessor to cover city and county alike 😊

This #ThrowbackThursday is shining a spotlight on how far one of our clients' homes have progressed in the program! Last year, this home was faced with an unstable roof, a lack of accessibility, and energy leakage. Now, they've got a new ramp & windows, updated roofing, and plenty more to come!

We hope everyone is handling the weather shift smoothly and warmly! Fall generally brings some cozy evenings, but often at a severe price for those whose homes have lost their energy efficiency. Consider trying out a few of these tips, including a visit from our friends at @leapva.bsky.social

This #ThrowbackThursday brings us back to our Block-by-Block program of the 2010s, where we conducted repairs on a neighborhood basis, rather than targeted addresses. In 2015, this program got statewide recognition for its work in the 10th & Page neighborhood, setting a standard we still maintain 😊

This week's #ThrowbackThursday brings us full circle, as 1998 saw us reach the home we know and love to this day, Berkmar Drive! Since then, this office has been our rock in ever-shifting times, and we're grateful to have found it ❤️ Here's to another 27 years, and more beyond!

This #ThrowbackThursday we're looking back to 1991, when AHIP partnered with Charlottesville Housing Foundation to connect residents-in-need with affordable housing! This collaboration facilitated 24 new households in what's now known as Crozet Crossing 😊

This #ThrowbackThursday we're looking back at old homes of ours, specifically Silk Mill! After operating out of the old Jailer's House in Court Square for 14 years, our team moved to a small office in Silk Mill in 1995; since then we moved on to Berkmar, but appreciated our time there all the same!

Fall is creeping in, and in order to protect against the accompanying weather some of our recent outdoor installs need protective stain! Luckily our friends at Tiger accompanied us in protecting this homeowner's new deck against the elements 😊
