EAH Housing, one of the largest and most respected nonprofit
housing development and management organizations in the Western
United States, has been named the country’s third top nonprofit
affordable housing developer in Affordable Housing Finance’s “Top
50 Affordable Housing Developers of 2023”.
The esteemed list compiles and ranks firms annually based on the
number of new affordable housing units they started construction on
within the last 12 months. The 2023 installment reflects EAH
Housing’s start of development on 683 affordable housing units and
completion of 164 units, which earned the organization the #26 spot
in overall affordable housing developers.
"Being ranked among the top affordable housing developers in the
nation is no small feat,” said Laura Hall, CEO of EAH Housing.
“This acknowledgment places us in the company of the best in the
industry and highlights our commitment to excellence. Our inclusion
in this list underscores our dedication to providing quality,
affordable housing to those most in need. It is a testament to our
hard work, innovative solutions, and unwavering mission to make a
difference in the communities we serve."
In 2023, EAH Housing announced the groundbreaking of the
permanent veterans housing community Lightfighter Village in
Marina, Calif., and the first of the two-phase affordable housing
project Nevin Plaza in Richmond, Calif. EAH Housing also marked the
grand re-opening of Centertown Apartments, an affordable
multifamily rental property in San Rafael, Calif. During the first
half of 2024, EAH Housing celebrated the grand opening of Avena
Bella II, the second and final phase of the previously constructed
Avena Bella in Turlock, Calif.; Archway Commons II, the second and
final phase of the previously built affordable housing community
Archway Commons in Modesto, Calif.; and the permanent supportive
housing community Pointe On La Brea in Los Angeles.
