People need affordable housing. Today more than ever, the design should be energy efficient and use sustainable methods. At AHS we guide this process by working with Federal guidelines on LEED/Green building solutions for new projects and renovations. AHS maintains a team of fully licensed architects that provide new site design and modernization/rehabilitation design for existing structures. Combined with our due diligence consulting services and other affordable housing partners, your project will be executed smoothly and handled professionally.

Building Surveys and Physical Needs Assessments
Mandatory for all public housing agencies, it now includes energy audit requirements. Physical Needs Assessments help identify distressed properties and enable housing authorities to make decisions about the property's long-term sustainability.
Modernization/Rehabilitation Design
Repurposing structures for a new use and upgrading existing multifamily dwellings enhances communities and expands the supply of quality affordable housing.
Landscape and Site Design
All housing projects have a responsibility to add and enhance the communities in which they exist. Well-designed landscapes encourage tenants to take pride in their homes as well as spend more time outside. With sustainable landscaping design, maintenance can sometimes cost less in the long run when compared to turf grass maintenance. By eliminating or minimalizing the need for fertilizer, pesticides, and watering the property can be beautiful and functional with minimal maintenance costs.
