About Us
Providing safe, decent, and affordable housing to low- and lower-income individuals, families, and the elderly in Loudoun and Fauquier Counties and encourages self-improvement and self-sufficiency among our residents.
Who We Are
Since 1981, Windy Hill Foundation has been providing safe, affordable housing, as well as emergency support, to low-income individuals, families, and seniors in Virginia’s Loudoun and Fauquier Counties.
Ranging from standalone cottages to 1-3 bedroom apartments and townhomes, Windy Hill houses over 800 residents across 310 units. In addition to managing these housing units across both counties, Windy Hill also commits more than $200,000 annually to provide free, on-site programs – including after school academic support for children, enrichment activities for families, social activities for adults and seniors, and guidance around finances and employment – to help residents build capacity and mitigate socio-economic barriers.
With support from sponsors, donors, and more than 50 partner organizations, including churches, food banks, schools and foundations, Windy Hill also offers scholarships and emergency fund support. Since 2023, the Foundation has provided over $150,000 in scholarships and emergency funds to residents and their children. These funds provide essential support to those in need, and support car repairs, medical bills, funeral expenses, rental and utilities assistance, and more. Together, we ensure that basic needs are met and that no one has to choose between necessities. This assistance also helps restore peace of mind and independence.
We believe that everyone deserves a safe and stable place to call home, and the Foundation is working to respond to the need for affordable housing in our community, while building sustainable programming to help our under-resourced neighbors.
How We Work
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Windy Hill is supported by a combination of philanthropic, as well as in-kind donations from our more than 50 partner organizations and many wonderful volunteers who help us maximize every donated dollar. More details are included in our Financials.
Our Impact
Windy Hill Foundation transforms our communities by providing safe, decent, and affordable housing for community members who keep our neighborhoods thriving – from teachers and healthcare workers to service staff who would otherwise face hours-long commutes. Beyond just putting roofs over heads, the Foundation strives to create true homes where families and seniors live with dignity. This approach weaves together housing with vital support services, such as mentoring programs that help break cycles of poverty, wellness initiatives that promote healthy living, and dedicated assistance that allows elderly residents to age in place comfortably. Through this comprehensive support system, Windy Hill does not just build houses – it builds foundations for better futures.
