As the housing market continues to tighten in Northern Virginia, especially Arlington, individuals with modest incomes are being displaced from their homes in growing numbers. Working adults, young professionals, families, the elderly and disabled citizens, may find themselves with relatively few options. This lack of viable, affordable housing has lasting and far-reaching effects within the community. Local businesses cannot fill jobs and Arlington workers who must live elsewhere contribute to the transportation problems that plague our area, including pollution and traffic congestion. Teachers, police officers, firefighters and County employees are among those who can no longer afford the high price of living in Arlington County. This growing problem threatens the cultural and economic diversity that has long been the fabric of our community.

The Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH) is dedicated to strengthening Arlington County by addressing this affordable housing need. Founded in 1989, APAH is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) that provides safe, affordable housing opportunities to low- and moderate-income families and individuals in Arlington County. APAH purchases and renovates apartment buildings to preserve them as affordable housing, improve the condition of the properties and enhance the neighborhoods in which APAH properties are located.
