Welcome to the Wilmington Housing Partnership

The Wilmington Housing Partnership was established in 1989. We provide quality homes by teaming up with strong community groups and participating with investors to stabilize the neighborhoods in the City of Wilmington.

There are several other builders that offer housing in our area. However, we believe that our homes are of excellent quality and precision. We work very hard to ensure buyer's satisfaction. We stand by our work and maintain a continuous relationship with our buyers.

The Mission of the Wilmington Housing Partnership is to collaborate with select private, non-profit and governmental entities to increase the City of Wilmington’s housing stock by promoting renovation/rehabilitation of existing homes and limited construction of new homes in strategically selected areas, while supporting a diverse income strategy.

The WHPartnership is a non-profit corporation established by the City of Wilmington in 1989 to create affordable homeownersship opportunities in the City of Wilmington (City) and, in doing so, to stablize neighborhoods, increase housing values, and reduce blight in the City.  WHPartnership is a separate entity from the City, as well as from the Wilmington Housing Authority.  It has its own non-profit staff, funding, a Board of Directors, financial accountability systems,and recordkeeping processes.  WHPartnership obtains the majority of its operating and project funding through funding applications to local governments, banks, and foundations and through program income generated from its projects and activities.

To achieve its Mission, WHPartnership works independently or through local non-profit and private partners to acquire, rehabilitate, demolish and construct new housing-with a primary end goal of homeownership.  WHPartnership also funds other housing-related activities -pre-development activities (architectural, engineering, appraisals, and environmental remediation), marketing and settlement assistance (depending upon market conditions).  On occasion, it assembles a significant number of vacant properties which are then used for large housing development projects.  When owning property before or duing develoment, WHPartnerhsip provides property management (boarding, securing, cleaning, grass cutting, snow removal, environmental clean-up, and emergency repair).

WHPartnership focuses in communities of need which exhibit blight, low homeownership rates, depressed housing values, and numerous vacancies.  The goal of WHPartnership is to elevate and strengthen neighborhoods by improving housing stock, raising housing values, increasing homeownership rates, reducing blight, and increasing income diversity.
