Housing is the foundation of stability - and often, it’s a family’s most valuable asset. For nearly 40 years, HANDS has transformed blighted buildings into safe, affordable housing. And as our community has changed - so has the role of housing support. Rather than fighting depreciation, current economic trends and local policies threaten to displace Greater Orange residents. HANDS helps residents access safe, affordable housing by offering affordable rental units and protecting the value of homes with home improvement grants and lead remediation services.
