Affordable Housing Alliance - Hope. Strength. Community.

Our Mission

This year, AHA is celebrating 35 years of impact!

Over three decades ago, affordable housing in Monmouth County was critically scarce. Our founder, Donna Blaze, saw the crisis and refused to accept it.

With just $25,000 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, she founded the Monmouth Housing Alliance on March 11th, 1991. That seed has grown, and today we serve over 8,000 households annually.
