History: Fahe was started in 1980 by socially conscious entrepreneurs who saw that impoverished families in rural areas had limited access to capital for suitable housing solutions. The creation of Fahe allowed affordable housing providers to share experiences, form a unified voice, and share access to resources to develop quality housing.
Vision: We envision Appalachia as a place proud of sustaining its culture and environment, where growth, opportunity and hope are balanced so that all people fulfill their potential with regard to housing, employment, educational opportunity and quality of life.
Mission: Fahe leads a network of Appalachian organizations to sustainable growth and measurable impact through collective voice and provides access to capital that creates housing and promotes community development.
