Desired skills, perspectives, experiences, and characteristics of new board members
AHIP strives for diversity in our Board of Directors, and we are seeking new board members of all backgrounds with skills and interests helpful in guiding our mission.
AHIP’s mission is to provide critical home repairs that ensure safety for residents and preserve the fabric of our community.
Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP) is a non-profit, state licensed Class A contractor who completes critical repairs, energy efficient upgrades, safety and accessibility modifications, and complete home rehabs. Our mission is to ensure safe and affordable homes for our neighbors in need. Since 1976, we have served more than 4,700 households in our community.
Nearly a tenth of Charlottesville and Albemarle homeowners are severely cost burdened. This means that critical repairs including HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and structural repairs are beyond reach. By providing repair services to income eligible homeowners, we can preserve the houses in the neighborhoods that make up our vibrant community. Home repairs preserve our clients’ greatest asset, their home, and help build generational wealth. Housing repairs also positively affect physical and mental health and accessibility modifications ensure that our senior clients can age in place with dignity.
There are currently three board committees: Executive Committee, Finance Committee, and Governance Committee.
Annual Time Commitment (including committee meetings, special events, work outside the board, etc.)
AHIP’s Board of Directors meets approximately four times throughout the year. Meetings tend to be held in the spring, early summer, and in the fall. Committee meetings are held on an as needed basis, typically during months when Board meetings are not held. Additional opportunities to be engaged are held throughout the year and Board members participate as they are able. Examples of additional opportunities include, but are not limited to, donor appreciation events, community events, and volunteering on a project for a client.
Board meetings last approximately two hours, committee meetings are approximately one hour in length, and additional opportunities vary in length of time and frequency.
