Kent Attainable Housing
Building Foundations for Families
Kent Attainable Housing
Kent Attainable Housing is a nonprofit working to break the cycle of poverty by creating home ownership opportunities for local families in need of safe, decent and affordable housing. We buy property, design or rehab a home to place on the property, landscape the grounds and partner with a low income applicant to buy the home. When we build homes for families in need, we build foundations for healthier, happier and more productive families and a stronger community.
