Neighborhood Housing Services of New Haven's model for neighborhood revitalization is both holistic and unique. Our comprehensive approach of clustered affordable housing, homeownership education, community organizing, and commitment to green building and social justice empowers low- and middle-income people to become not only homeowners but vested stakeholders in their community. We have been serving the communities of New Haven for 38 years.NHS' mission is to position neighborhoods to succeed by increasing and preserving homeownership; making homes beautiful, energy-efficient, and affordable; and helping residents take charge of their neighborhoods. Our affordable housing development is focused in Newhallville, the Hill, and Dwight/Edgewood neighborhoods of New Haven. Each year we rehabilitate up to 12 properties per year in our targeted neighborhoods, devote substantial community organizing efforts in these locations, and serve as many as 1700 clients from the Greater New Haven Area and the State of Connecticut looking to purchase a home or prevent a pending foreclosure.
