Organizational Overview:
Using a housing trust model, Vincent’s Homes acquires and rehabilitates residential properties in and around Philadelphia’s East Germantown neighborhood. Units are leased at affordable rents to low-income individuals and families. Properties are managed using a “property management plus” approach that employs a low barrier to entry housing model and provides additional supports to tenants to keep them stably housed. Modeled after St. Vincent’s first initiative to help the homeless when he built 13 houses to care for homeless children in Paris, in 2020 the Eastern Province of the Vincentian Congregation and national social impact real estate development non-profit Community Solutions launched Vincent’s Homes. Since its 2020 launch, Vincent’s Homes has grown its portfolio to include 16 single-family homes and one 26-bed congregate home. Through the purchase and rehabilitation of these properties, Vincent’s Homes has invested more than $3 million in and around East Germantown while providing high-quality affordable housing to individuals and families.
