Homes That Create New Beginnings
Since 1993, Vitus has given economically disadvantaged families and seniors more than a place to live – we have created homes to take pride in. Through acquiring, improving, and preserving affordable housing nationwide, we build communities that will improve lives for decades to come.
Preservation
Forging partnerships
Long-term preservation of our nation’s critical existing affordable housing begins with a collaboration between buyer and seller to create mutual success. Vitus has built its reputation on clear communication and fulfilling its commitments. The seller’s legacy and stewardship are honored and preserved, and residents enjoy continued affordability, new supportive programs, and fully modernized homes.
Renewal
A fresh start for affordable housing
Vitus is committed to the future of its housing and its residents. We bring resources to perform a substantial renovation of each property, and create homes that inspire hope and ensure affordability for many years to come. Our renovations are designed to improve energy efficiency, modernize systems and interiors, and support improved resident health.
Vitus partners with local and regional construction and property management companies to create local jobs and ensure that its properties are staffed by people who know and love their community.
