“Housing and Neighborhood Development Service makes stronger and more vibrant neighborhoods

Fifty years ago, HANDS was a volunteer organization whose focus was to help neighbors with housing needs. Today, HANDS is a private not-for-profit organization which prides itself on "making stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods.". HANDS believes in a holistic approach for all residents by coordinating educational and supportive service opportunities to improve the quality of life for families, and by providing seniors the comfort and support of a community they can feel safe in. HANDS prides itself on the creation of four dozen housing developments resulting in the production of more than 1,000 units of affordable housing in nine counties across Northwestern Pennsylvania.
