A $1 million grant from the Anne Mullen Orrell Charitable Trust is heading to Better Housing Coalition, marking the largest single award the trust has ever made. The funding will go toward preserving existing affordable housing, building new homes in high-opportunity areas, and making long-term investments to keep housing stable for modest-income families across the Richmond region.
BHC, founded in 1988, has invested more than $300 million in the region over nearly four decades and currently serves thousands of residents across multiple communities. The organization develops and preserves affordable housing while working to expand opportunities for the people and neighborhoods it serves.
