MISSION
Omni Affordable Housing Inc’s mission is to educate individuals, families, and underserved communities to build wealth and provide home ownership by building and refurbishing homes to be sold at an affordable price. We operate and serve the Northern & Central Virginia areas.



VISION
Our vision is to bridge the gap in homeownership so that everyone may have an affordable and sustainable place they can call home. We can achieve this through partnerships with government, state, and community organizations and the utilization of creative & affordable financial options. If you are a veteran, senior or a person in the low to moderate-income bracket this program is perfect for you. Let us help you put the pieces of homeownership together.



ABOUT
In the face of an ongoing housing shortage crisis, Omni Affordable Housing recognizes the urgent need for innovative solutions to provide safe and affordable homes for individuals and families in our community. Traditional construction methods often face challenges such as high labor costs and lengthy construction timelines, exacerbating the housing shortage. However, we are committed to tackling this issue head-on by embracing modern construction technologies like Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). By utilizing SIPs Panels, we can reduce construction time by up to 30%, significantly accelerating the pace of affordable home construction. This not only allows us to meet the increasing demand for housing more efficiently but also enables us to provide quality homes at a faster rate, offering hope and stability to those in need. At Omni Affordable Housing, we believe that by embracing innovation and efficiency, we can make meaningful strides towards addressing the housing shortage and building a brighter future for our community."
