About us and our history
Since 1997 HCEB has fulfilled our this mission by providing housing outreach and support services; developing affordable housing, partnering with other nonprofit and for-profit companies to secure set-asides within larger rental communities, and owning and operating permanent support housing. Since 2013, HCEB has expanded our scope and capacity to provide interim housing solutions for our unhoused neighbors.
