Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH)
NOAH se organizó como una organización sin fines de lucro y comenzó a servir en East Boston en 1987 como un equipo de dos personas que operaba desde el sótano de la Iglesia Luterana Nuestro Salvador en Maverick Sq. Los primeros fundadores fueron respetados activistas y líderes comunitarios que defendieron con fuerza y públicamente la vivienda asequible, la justicia ambiental, el respeto por las personas que llegaban de otros países y la reactivación económica de nuestra comunidad empresarial.
Conoce Más
Ante la creciente necesidad de viviendas asequibles en los suburbios de Boston, NOAH ha ampliado su impacto para atender a comunidades en todo el Gran Boston. A través de nuestras iniciativas de desarrollo de viviendas de ingresos mixtos, programas educativos como clases para compradores de vivienda y educación financiera, y una mayor presencia en redes sociales, buscamos apoyar a las familias y fortalecer las comunidades.
Con el tiempo, nuestra capacidad organizacional ha crecido significativamente. Hoy contamos con un equipo de 22 empleados a tiempo completo y 14 a tiempo parcial, bajo la dirección de una Junta Directiva multicultural de 11 miembros comprometidos con nuestra misión.
Si bien nuestras iniciativas y líneas de negocio se han multiplicado a lo largo de las décadas, nuestros objetivos originales siguen siendo el núcleo de nuestro trabajo: crear y preservar oportunidades de vivienda asequible y de mercado, generar oportunidades de riqueza individual y comunitaria, y construir un entorno seguro y saludable para nuestros residentes y negocios más vulnerables.

Nuestros esfuerzos han dado frutos. Gracias al compromiso de NOAH, 3,000 familias han logrado mantener sus hogares frente a una posible ejecución hipotecaria, con una tasa de éxito a largo plazo de más del 80%.

Phil graduated from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was born in the Mid-West but moved East with his family when his father took a job at Natick Labs. Phil moved to East Boston in 1971 when neighborhood activists and some fellow conscientious objectors were forming the East Boston Community Development Corporation. Phil has been involved with affordable housing since the 1970's when friends formed a small corporation to rehabilitate vacant housing and rent it out at a low cost to local residents. Soon after, he joined some friends at the East Boston Ecumenical Community Council (EBECC) who were responding to the call for racial harmony and affordable housing. NOAH became the entity that focused on housing, with Phil serving as the Executive Director officially since July 1987. In the 70's Phil co-founded Shelter Inc, now a leading homeless shelter and advocacy organization with sites in the Cambridge and Greater Boston areas. He co-chaired the Framingham Housing Partnership from 2002-2004. Lastly, he is currently on the Board of the Mass. Association of CDC’s, giving him a strong presence in regional issues. He later moved to Framingham with his wife Nancy O’Hare in the late 90's, where they would go on to raise their son, Justin.

Linda ensures contract activities compliance, and oversees NOAH’s resource reporting processes.
