Albemarle Housing Improvement Program
EIN: 54-1028220 · Charlottesville, VA
Our Story
In the wake of Hurricane Camille in 1969, a group of dedicated UVA students formed SCRUB to assist with cleanup efforts in Charlottesville. This initiative revealed the dire housing conditions faced by many families, prompting the evolution into the Charlottesville Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) in 1974. Recognizing the need for support in the surrounding county, the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP) was founded in 1976. Following the conclusion of CHIP in 1995, AHIP emerged as the leading nonprofit for home repairs in both the city and county, a mission it proudly continues today.
Our Impact
Last year, AHIP conducted over 180 repairs for more than 90 local low-income homeowners, reinvesting nearly $600,000 back into the community.
