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.
