The Healthy Housing Foundation by AHF’s Mission

AIDS Healthcare Foundation launched Healthy Housing Foundation (HHF) in 2017 to address the rampant affordable housing and homelessness crises. Since then, HHF has purchased and renovated 18 properties nationwide, converting them into affordable housing via adaptive reuse, a much faster, much less expensive way of getting people off the streets. HHF's adaptive reuse model proves we can help low-income people in need without lengthy delays and by taking advantage of already existing property inventory rather than waiting on new construction, the majority of which is far from affordable.

  • Build or acquire units to make them available for low-income housing (below 50% of the average median income).
  • Refurbish these units for far less than the $350,000 per unit currently touted as the “norm.”
  • Generate returns sufficient to justify deploying capital in this way.

  • Scale this model to create housing for more Americans in need at the lowest income levels.
  • Use 100% equity financing to do so, without leverage or LIHTC funding, which often carries regulations and restrictions that inhibit cost-effective decent housing.

Healthy Housing Foundation is determined to add 10,000 affordable housing units across the nation over the next ten years.

As of April 2022, the Healthy Housing Foundation by AHF now owns and operates approximately 1,400 affordable housing units in 13 buildings across Southern California, and is underway with development of two new affordable housing complexes: in Los Angeles, the Renaissance Center, a 15-story, 216-unit modular construction building in Downtown L.A., and in South Florida, the 75-unit, 12-story Biscayne House in Miami, both of which are anticipated for completion and occupancy by late 2023.. Additionally, we are strategizing expansion to other states and several of our HHF affiliate organizations provide a range of housing resources and placements, now serving over 800 individuals and families across United States.
