About us
Mission First Housing Group is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to ensuring everyone has a safe, affordable house to call home. Mission First's mission is to develop and manage affordable, equitable, safe, sustainable homes that support residents and strengthen communities. What began more than 30 years ago as a joint venture between the City of Philadelphia, HUD and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has become a full-service, nonprofit affordable housing organization developing high-quality, green community assets across the Mid-Atlantic region. Mission First’s original purpose was to provide for the housing needs of adults living with chronic mental illness. Over the course of our history, Mission First employed a number of key strategies and innovative practices to support its expansion, including incorporating an affiliated nonprofit entity to lease, manage and maintain its properties and coordinate resident services; leveraging funding to acquire property; assembling complex financing sources; and developing a successful model for utilizing mergers, acquisitions and friendly take-overs to help stabilize troubled affordable housing projects and expand its portfolio. Having developed a successful model for providing safe, quality, affordable housing for a particularly vulnerable population, Mission First sought to expand its model to new geographies and serve others in need. Mission First’s footprint is now the entire Mid-Atlantic region and it now serves a diverse resident population that includes families, veterans, survivors of domestic violence, seniors and individuals with disabilities. Today Mission First provides safe, affordable, sustainable homes to more than 5,500 people in over 4,000 units. Our vision is to be a premier partner in expanding affordable, equitable, safe, sustainable home options in the Mid-Atlantic region.

We are proud to be a part of the DC Affordable Housing Consortium and happy to be a part of the work to provide affordable housing in Washington, DC.
Thank you to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Acting Secretary Todman for taking the time yesterday to discuss the operating challenges faced by affordable housing owners and operators, large and small, across the country. WinnCompanies is grateful to have been joined by Rosa Estrada from The Michaels Organization, Christine Madigan from Enterprise Community Partners, and Leila Finucane from Victory Housing, Inc., all representing the DC Affordable Housing Consortium. The pandemic wake of spiking expenses and insurance costs, staffing shortages, lender/investor red flags, increased needs of families facing hardship, and compounding delinquency all require the focus and attention of partnerships at the city, state, and national level as we face the housing production, operations and preservation crises in real time. We're fortunate to have extraordinary HUD leadership committed to solutions and look forward to the work ahead, together.
