Renovation Program

Our Renovation Process

Welcome Affordable Housing’s Renovation Program! Our mission is to transform homes that are not up to code into beautiful, safe, and affordable housing units for qualified applicants.

Step One

 Identifying Homes in Need

Inga Mathis, our dedicated owner, actively seeks out homes that fail to meet current building codes. These homes are then evaluated to determine the scope of necessary renovations.


Step Two

Developing Renovation Plans

Once a home is identified, Inga collaborates with her construction team to outline the required renovations. This initial assessment helps set the stage for a comprehensive renovation plan.

Step Three

Submitting Design Plans for Approval


Similar to an HGTV design competition, students are invited to submit their design ideas for each unit. The winning design is selected to be implemented in the renovation. 


The selected design is then submitted to the city for approval. This step ensures that all renovations comply with local regulations and standards.

Step Four

Creating a Renovation Plan & Budget

Upon receiving city approval, Inga and her construction team finalize a detailed renovation plan. This includes timelines, tasks, and responsibilities for the renovation project.


A comprehensive budget is developed, covering materials, installation, and other necessary items. This budget ensures that the project stays on track financially.

Step Five

Hire a Realtor

Renovations are projected to take approximately 90 days per unit. During this period, our construction team works diligently to transform the unit according to the approved design plan


Once renovations are complete, the unit is listed on our website. Qualified applicants can then express their interest in occupying the newly renovated home.

Urban Community Housing Program

Our Renovation Program is continuously updated on our website and is available to qualified applicants. We strive to make the dream of homeownership a reality for more people in our community.


Join us in our mission to create beautiful, safe, and affordable homes for everyone. Together, we can build a better future, one home at a time.
