How We Impact the Community

FHNV is committed to advancing fairness and ensuring equal housing opportunities for everyone. Our mission is to eradicate housing discrimination and support both tenants and landlords through advocacy, counseling, education, training and mediation. FHNV specifically targets its efforts towards low-income tenants and the most vulnerable members of our community. As the sole agency of its kind in Napa, we are dedicated to advancing housing equity for all Napa residents through our programs. As costs of living continue to increase, housing insecurity has increased substantially among Napa residents (especially low income and BIPOC residents). The demand for FHNV’s services has increased as well, highlighted by the 882 households we have assisted in the past year alone. Out of these households:

91% of all tenants assisted were at/below the low-income threshold
79% of households included a minor
30% included a household member w/disability
35% were senior households
68% of all households were BIPOC, including 60% Latinx

Testimonial

FHNV has been outstanding helping me w/ my intimidating and unprofessional property manager. The property manager doesn’t try to work around us seniors or tenant’s w/disabilities. FHNV has always been there to support me in ways such as reasonable accommodations and much more. FHNV is crucial for this community.
