The Housing Assistance Council (HAC) is a national nonprofit organization that supports affordable housing and community development across rural America through research, policy advocation, lending, and technical assistance and training.
Photo by Shawn Poynter, There Is More Work To Be DoneThrough our heirs’ property work, HAC aims to increase access to capital and resources needed to support homeowners in exercising full agency over their housing needs and goals, in alignment with their aspirations and visions for their families and property. We also work to strengthen our cross-sector collaboration at local and national levels across housing, finance, legal, policy, academia, and agriculture. Our work centers on residential property, with particular emphasis on rural communities, Tribal lands, Native Hawaiian homelands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
HAC hopes that Heirs’ Property Central will serve as a resource for professionals to connect, collaborate, and learn about current research, products, and initiatives concerning heirs’ property.
