The Hispanic Association of Contractors & Enterprises (HACE) is a Philadelphia-based organization that has been building just and equitable neighborhoods for residents and small businesses of Eastern North Philadelphia since 1982. They achieve this by developing affordable housing and commercial spaces, providing supportive services, engaging residents and stakeholders, and supporting small businesses to grow the neighborhood's economic base and increase job opportunities, all while nurturing the community's rich cultural diversity.
HACE's mission is to create neighborhoods of choice by promoting affordable homeownership, preserving affordability, and countering rapid market shifts and potential displacement. They do this through initiatives such as the Good Lands Trust, a community land trust that identifies vacant properties for redevelopment and makes them available for sale to low and moderate-income homebuyers. With ongoing support and relationships between homeowners and the Good Lands Trust, homeowners gain access to free programs and loan products to maintain and preserve their homes.
