Grateful!

More than just upgrades

"The Housing Affordability Trust (HAT) grant has provided us with the capability to make extensive repairs — more than just

upgrades. The funding to replace a weak and sagging floor and a rotting subfloor represent the HAT’s investment in helping

YWCA Central Alabama repair the lives of our families."

Holly Hilton

Grants Manager for YWCA Central Alabama

Pro-Girl Space

"With support from HAT, an empty apartment became the Girls Inc. Empowerment Center. A year later, we are open after

school each day, creating a pro-girl/girl only space in the center of the neighborhood."

Connie Hill

President & CEO of Girls Inc. of Central Alabama

Quality of Life

"NHS Birmingham in partnership with Navigate through the HAT has been able to assist existing homeowners with the quality

of life repairs to their homes."

Kelleigh Gamble

CEO of Neighborhood Services of Birmingham
