Building Foundations for Dreams
In 2024, True Ground Housing Partners continued its mission to create safe, affordable homes and provide life-changing services for thousands across the DC region. Explore the stories, successes, and milestones that you made possible.
Welcome to True Ground and to our 2024 Impact Report. I want to extend my personal thanks to every resident, partner, board member, and staff member for a year of inspiring growth. We remain deeply committed to our mission and to creating welcoming spaces for all residents who call a True Ground community home thanks to your generous support.
Affordable housing is now at the top of the agenda within communities across the country. Nationally, we are experiencing a shortage of more than 7 million affordable homes. In the DC metro region alone, we need more than 225,000 affordable homes by 2030 to meet the growing demand. As a regional leader, True Ground is thoughtfully engaging with our partners to continue building homes, providing compassionate services to over 5,700 residents, and scaling up our operations to make a difference when housing access is becoming even more challenging.
At the enterprise level, we completed the transition from APAH to True Ground Housing Partners, signaling our regional commitment to providing affordable homes and nurturing brighter futures. This year was our most successful fundraising year to date thanks to your support. We appreciate working with donors, volunteers, and philanthropic partners who share our belief that hope, like a home, needs nurturing and care.
