Olneyville Housing Corporation (OHC) exists to build a safe, healthy and stable community through the empowerment of Olneyville residents.  While OHC’s primary function is to facilitate the creation and revitalization of affordable housing, the organization takes a holistic approach to community strengthening which includes economic development, individual wealth building; and collaboration with residents and similarly charged organizations to build a strong, viable neighborhood.

History

OHC was founded as a program of the Nickerson House Community Center in 1988 to promote the revitalization of Olneyville through the development of affordable housing opportunities for residents.   Since that time, OHC has worked to stabilize the neighborhood by addressing the problems associated with an aging housing stock, decline in owner occupancy and increasing gap between housing costs and residents’ income.
