For 40 years, residents of central Virginia have had help with their housing needs – first by the individual operations of the Fluvanna Housing Foundation and the Louisa Housing Foundation – then in 2003 by the merger of the two into the Fluvanna-Louisa Housing Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. 

​

Here are just a few of the ways we have ensured warm, safe and dry housing for the families in our communities.

• In the 1980’s, many families in our area had no plumbing or running water. The Fluvanna and Louisa Housing Foundations made sure these critical needs were addressed.

• During the drought of 2002, when wells ran dry, we helped families dig or drill new wells.

• When wind and rain from Hurricane Isabel hit the East Coast, families turned to us for help restoring roofs that had been destroyed.

• After a massive snowstorm of 2008 damaged a number of homes, we responded with financial assistance and volunteers to do the repairs.

• When the destructive 2011 earthquake destroyed homes in central Virginia, we distributed federal funds for rebuilding.

• In 2020, when Covid-19 challenged the economic and housing stability of the community, we expanded our services and outreach.

 

Today, under the leadership of Executive Director Kim Hyland, the Foundation has a renewed dedication to strengthening trust with the community by providing services with compassion, honesty, and simplicity.
