On September 17, 2024, APAH’s 35th anniversary, we will reveal our new name, new look, and new website that reflects our regional mission.

Access to affordable housing has changed a lot since the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing was founded 35 years ago, and we are proud to have continually evolved and expanded to meet the needs of our residents and the communities we serve. It’s time for us to adopt a new name to reflect the scope of what we do.

Our mission remains the same – we are still committed to ensuring that everyone we serve has access to safe and affordable housing – a place to call home. Our staff and our communities are not changing. We still believe in advocating for bold and innovative policies that allow us to provide hope and opportunity to every person who calls one of our properties home. Our new name will build on our legacy to reflect the full breadth of what we do today and what we hope to build in the future. We look forward to sharing our new identity soon!

Please see the FAQ below.

FAQs for Partners 

• How are current contracts and MOUs affected? 

APAH’s name change will be accomplished by filing an Articles of Amendment to the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, amending the name of the corporation. So, if you’ve entered into a contract with APAH, your contract is still with that same corporation – only the name of the corporation is changing.  There is no need to update the contract.  Any future contracts or contract amendments that we enter will reflect the new name of the corporation instead of APAH. Please email rebrand@apah.org with questions. 

FAQs for Current or Potential Residents
