In order to pursue a more personal impact on our residents and the greater community, Embrace was born in 1999. Embrace adopted the mission “Building homes, creating communities & enriching lives” to expand FFAH’s mission of “Create safe, comfortable, & affordable housing.”
Embrace currently serves 2326 units spanning over 22 family and senior properties, and our footprint continues to grow. Our primary goal is to help our tenants overcome barriers to success. We do this largely by tailoring individualized programming that connects residents to local community programs, facilitates on site workshops, builds protective factors, links them with natural supports, and so much more! The best part about our services? They are offered to residents at no additional cost!
