The Affordable Housing Group of North Carolina, Inc. (TAHG) will soon be celebrating their 50th Anniversary.
TAHG recently celebrated the grand opening and dedication of their Cypress Court Apartments, a 48-unit affordable housing development in Ahoskie, North Carolina.
TAHG is a non-profit organization established in 1966 (as Low Income Housing and Development Corporation) to develop affordable housing and provide technical assistance to community-based and faith-based organizations in North Carolina. Initially funded through the Ford Foundation and the North Carolina Fund, under the leadership of former Governor Terry Sanford, TAHG’s early efforts were targeted toward small towns and rural communities underserved by other entities.
While TAHG continues to serve its original mandate, they also recognize the increasing need for a wider variety of affordable housing services across all areas of North and South Carolina. In order to meet the growing demand for affordable housing, TAHG has assumed diverse roles in the housing arena. For over 40 years, TAHG has provided an array of services to build the capacity of local groups, and thus expand the number of organizations capable of serving the housing needs of their communities. The result has been the development of thousands of affordable homes and a growing number of local organizations with the motivation, knowledge and skills to address the affordable housing needs of their citizens.
The Ellinger Carr law firm is proud of our friends at TAHG, we are honored to serve as their lawyers, and we join in their celebration of 50 years of providing safe, affordable and energy-efficient housing for seniors and families.
