The Federation of Appalachian Housing Enterprises (FAHE) envisions Appalachia as a place proud of sustaining its culture and environment, where growth, opportunity and hope are balanced so that all people fulfill their potential with regard to housing, employment, educational opportunity and quality of life. To this end, FAHE leads a network of Appalachian organizations to sustainable growth and measurable impact through collective voice and provides access to capital that creates housing and promotes community development.
FAHE aspires to be the largest provider of opportunity finance capital to Central Appalachia. FAHE will marshal greater socio-economic justice for Appalachian communities by serving as a conduit for financial services and by providing people with the tools necessary for greater self-determination, financial stability, and the resulting benefits such security brings. FAHE deploys its capital resources through six lines of business; mortgage lending, commercial lending, consulting services, tax credit equity funds, loan servicing, and the membership network. From FY2005-2009, FAHE has made more than $82 million in direct investment, compared to the $65 million invested during its first 24 years.
FAHE seeks graphic design services to develop its FY 2009 Annual Report. This will include consulting with FAHE to develop the theme and visual concept. Written content will be provided by FAHE to be reviewed and edited for length and grammar by consultant. Statistics will be provided to select and develop appropriate data graphics.
