Our Services
At Equity Housing, we are committed to providing comprehensive development services and innovative solutions to create sustainable housing opportunities for everyone.
We partner with affordable housing developers to offer the unique skill set of a nonprofit organization. We work with developers to ensure tenants have access to resident services that help them leverage existing supports such as rental assistance, affordable health care, after school programs, senior services, and healthy food. We also work with projects to obtain donations and household items to assist tenants in affordable housing buildings, particularly those who live in supportive housing settings.
We provide property management training for individuals and mission-driven housing operators seeking to build or strengthen their internal capacity. Our trainings cover core property management functions such as leasing and intake, tenant communication, basic building operations, and maintenance coordination. We emphasize best practices for serving tenants with complex needs, including residents returning from incarceration and other vulnerable populations. Participants gain practical tools for budgeting and reporting, processing for voucher payments, and partnering effectively with service providers to ensure safe, stable, and well-managed housing environments.
Equity Housing is launching a professional property management firm specializing in service-focused residential properties across the Washington DC region. Our property management work will focus on naturally occurring and deed-restricted affordable housing projects, both rental and homeownership (co-ops and condominiums). Equity Housing focuses on properties with a high potential for improved financial performance and resident engagement due to prior challenges with property management. We center our work on resident outreach and engagement, responsiveness to resident service requests, and thorough income and expense tracking.
We specialize in strategizing how to best provide sustainable housing and services for highly vulnerable populations, including unhoused individuals, returning citizens, and people with disabilities. By addressing unique challenges and leveraging community resources, we strive to create housing that is accessible, inclusive, and empowering.
We offer expert technical assistance to developers, service providers, nonprofits and others for every stage of your project. From navigating government funding applications to writing resident services plans, we ensure that housing initiatives are designed and implemented effectively to meet the needs of the community.
