MHP Named HAND Developer of the Year 2025

The Housing Association of Nonprofit Developers (HAND) named MHP its 2025 Housing Achievement Developer of the Year. The Housing Achievement awards recognize outstanding individuals, housing developments, programs, and solutions that have made significant investments into creating more equitable communities across the Capital Region. MHP will receive the award during HAND’s 34th Annual Meeting and Housing Expo in Washington DC on June 5.  

Committed to fulling its mission of housing people, empowering families, and strengthening neighborhoods, MHP has over the years embraced a strategy of focusing some of its investments along transit lines, including along the ongoing Purple Line transit corridor project. The investments along transit lines demonstrate our strategic innovations in expanding access to quality affordable housing for low- and -moderate-income earners. At a time when many neighborhoods across the DMV have seen spikes in rent which bring financial challenges for low- and -moderate-income earners, today, MHP has expanded the total number of preserved or renovated units along the Purple Line corridor to 1,100, a productive step in preventing displacement. This brings the total number of affordable housing homes developed by MHP to about 3,000.
