HIP’s Core Values

HIP and partners breaking ground on senior community

Founded in 1988, HIP’s real estate development programs consist of multifamily housing, single-family rehabilitation and new construction. HIP has developed a reputation for creating high quality projects, focusing a great deal of attention on detail.  Our staff has the skill and tenacity to solve extremely difficult and entrenched development problems. HIP also manages HUD-approved Homeownership and Foreclosure Prevention programs, featuring financial capability coaching for both homeowners and renters, including families at risk of homelessness.  Our bilingual housing counseling program is one of the largest in the state of Maryland, with three offices in Prince George’s County and Montgomery County.

HIP has been accredited by the Standards for Excellence Institute as meeting the highest standards of ethics, effectiveness and accountability and has been recognized by the Catalogue for Philanthropy as “one of the best nonprofits” in the Washington DC region.  HIP has also been highlighted twice by the Washingtonian Magazine as one of the best nonprofit organizations to give money to in the region.
