关于我们
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.

On October 23, 2024, Mission First was awarded $4.5 Million in Capital Magnet Funds from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s CDFI Fund. Mission First’s award will capitalize an Affordable Housing Fund to support both new construction and preservation of affordable rental housing across our Mid-Atlantic footprint. Capital Magnet Funds will be used for pre-development and development costs across our portfolio. To date, Mission First has received five Capital Magnet Fund awards for a total of $20,925,000 that fund our cost of developing affordable housing assets for individuals and families in need.

Last Thursday, we had a wonderful day at The Whitehall Apartments in Spring City, PA. We dedicated the Community Room in honor of Harry “Skip” Dittmann for his commitment and service to the veteran residents of The Whitehall Apartments. We hosted over 30 guests, staff and residents for a short program, dedication and sign unveiling and lunch from Mission BBQ. Board Chair Michael Davidson and Board Members Mark Duffy and Jim Kilcoyne also joined us for the event.
