Nonprofit and for-profit, national and regional, all together in 2023 the Top 50 firms started more than 41,000 affordable housing units across 364 developments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not including their other work that is currently in development or under construction across eight states, the Vecino Group\u2019s place on the AHF Top 50 was the direct result of 422 affordable homes on which they started construction spanning three unique developments: Libertad Austin and Cairn Point Cameron, both in Austin, Texas; and Impact Utica in Utica, New York.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vecino Group develops housing through its unique approach of \u201cDevelopment for the Greater Good\u201d. This means that each project the company undertakes must address a broader need, set an example, give back to the community, and inspire the professionals working on it with a sense of higher purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe started out as just three people with the hope to close a single, Missouri LIHTC development,\u201d said Matthew Miller, Vecino Group CEO. \u201cNow, 13 years later\u2014and after delivering more than 4000 homes across the country\u2014to be one of the AHF Top 50 is very special achievement for us. And one we proudly share with each of our 120 team members, our partners and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vecino Group Chairman Rick Manzardo agrees, adding that the impact of Vecino\u2019s work is as important as the volume of units. \u201cOur \u2018why\u2019 drives every development, whether it\u2019s a converted historic building in Potsdam, NY or a Senior-focused community in Utah. In fact, this year we just opened the first-ever fully permanent supportive housing development for Austin, TX serving the chronically homeless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur team takes pride in moving affordable housing and it\u2019s positive impact forward, and we\u2019re thankful to AHF for recognizing our team\u2019s effort toward this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year offered an additional surprise for Vecino: the MOWHA 2024 Innovation in Affordable Housing Award.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou\u2019re going to hear a lot about our Innovation honoree tomorrow at our affordable housing and health panel, because they are experts in that,\u201d said MOWHA Executive Director Jeff Smith as he announced the award. \u201cVecino is being honored because their approach and philosophy are really unique. Their approach of different models\u2014for instance <em>Intrada<\/em> focused on youth transitioning adulthood; <em>Talia<\/em> for survivors of domestic violence, and <em>Freedom Springs<\/em> for homeless veterans\u2014is really meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith continued, \u201cAcross all these different areas the work that Vecino is doing\u2014not just to house people, but to address societal challenges all over the country\u2014is having a huge impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd all in just 13 years. 63 developments across 13 states is a tremendous record of accomplishment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re humbled by this\u2014and quite surprised,\u201d Vecino Group Mission Ambassador Jordan Gibson said. \u201cWe\u2019re thankful to all the members of MOWHA and everyone for this honor. Our Vecino team shows up each day ready to deliver the greater good for communities across Missouri. But we know it takes the community at every level to make it happen\u2014so we\u2019re thankful for and share this with our partners and all of you here today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its start around a kitchen table more than a decade ago in Springfield, MO, the Vecino Group set a goal not just to provide affordable housing, but to make it impactful. It has pursued affordable, workforce and permanent supportive housing through an approach called \u201cdevelopment for the greater good\u201d. This means that every development must address a broader need, set an example, give back to the community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kim Buche\u2014one of Vecino\u2019s three founders at that kitchen table\u2014was in attendance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s always really special here at the MOWHA conference,\u201d said Buche. \u201cVecino has been an attendee for a long time, and it\u2019s wonderful to see the event and membership continue to grow. Our success in delivering affordable homes is because we\u2019ve been blessed with really great partners at every turn. And the members of MOWHA are most certainly on this list.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to attending, the Vecino Group was also a presenter at the conference. Heather Bradley-Geary, Director of Supportive Housing, and Jordan Gibson, Mission Ambassador, led a panel discussion focused on affordable housing, sharing how the Vecino Group emphasizes the health and well-being of residents. It was a perfect discussion to wrap another MOWHA conference focused on housing equality fellow Missourians.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMOWHA is a great organization that helps to make impactful housing possible,\u201d said Aaron Henry, Vecino Group Chief Financial Officer. \u201cThey\u2019ve been a great ally since Vecino\u2019s beginning and our goal to deliver homes and services for Missourians. We\u2019re truly thankful for their team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Affordable Housing Finance (AHF) Magazine recently announced its annual listing of the Top 50 Affordable Housing Developers in the United States. \u00a0 This year, the Vecino Group made its debut at number 39 on the Top 50 of 2023. \u00a0 The AHF list ranks companies based on how many new affordable housing units they started [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":12967,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
