RESIDENTS IN THE KNOW

About AHC

Founded in 1975, AHC Inc. is a nonprofit developer of affordable housing that provides quality homes and education programs for families living on low and moderate incomes throughout the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia areas.

AHC contracts third-party companies that manage its apartment communities. These companies have onsite staff, including community managers, maintenance teams, and leasing staff. AHC also has Resident Services (RS) staff who are onsite representatives of AHC.

AHC’s Resident Services program reaches 3,000 children, teens, adults, and seniors annually through onsite education, social service programs, and activities.

AHC wants to connect with our communities, so we started this newsletter to share updates. Please contact us if you have feedback or ideas for newsletter content.

Resident Feedback Results!

Thank you to all who completed the recent survey with questions about your home, community, and how to build community. We gathered data from residents to include resident voices and experiences in our planning for the future.

The feedback revealed a strong sense of home among residents regarding their communities. This feedback provided valuable insights that will guide AHC's future initiatives.

Community Highlight: Randolph Road

AHC Inc. and Habitat for Humanity Metro Maryland broke ground on a 195-home, affordable community earlier this year. The development is one of the largest new construction, affordable development of its kind in Montgomery County and includes 85 three- and four-bedroom homes. The community will have rental and homeownership options.

In addition to large, family-sized units, the Randolph Road community will include a community center, onsite resident services staff and programming, a half-acre public park with a playground, picnic area, and space will be available onsite for a future childcare provider.

Construction is underway now. We expect leasing for the apartments will start in the fall of 2024.

Computer Labs Open!

We are thrilled to announce that computer labs are now open in select communities in partnership with the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development! We installed 26 computers and 5 printers in 5 communities: Charter House, Greenspring Overlook, Barclay Greenmount, Union Rowe, and Monteverde.

We're also introducing computer classes designed to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the vast landscape of computers, the internet, and modern technology. From mastering the basics of operating systems to discovering the wonders of the online world, our volunteers are ready to guide you every step of the way.
