Who we are
"There is no more potent symbol of the American Dream..."
FAHE is a Member-driven collaborative of nonprofit organizations that provide affordable housing options for the most economically disadvantaged communities in Appalachia. Our members work throughout the Appalachian regions of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia where few housing options exist for those with limited financial means. 
By working together, our Members make better use of resources and create long term solutions that are both qualitative and quantitative. The impact is significant. FAHE Members has helped construct 5,800 new homes and has renovate or repaire over 33,800 existing dwellings. In most cases, these projects would not have been possible without FAHE's participation.
Providing housing is only the first step. When low-income families can achieve the American Dream of home ownership, we all benefit. FAHE's efforts result in more vibrant communities, newfound pride and socio-economic fairness for people of very limited financial means. To accomplish this important work, our Members employ more than 1,000 local residents with full-time jobs and an annual payroll of $32 million is fed into local economies.
