Our Story
Founded by award-winning architect Garry J. Kearns, the American Housing Foundation, Inc. emerged from a passion for creating quality, safe, and affordable housing. After three decades of designing over a thousand apartment units, Mr. Kearns transitioned from architecture to philanthropy, establishing the foundation in 1995. With a favorable determination from the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization, the foundation has since developed five senior citizen communities and manages six in total. The ongoing demand for affordable housing drives the foundation's mission to identify new opportunities for development.
