Housing And Neighborhood Development Service (HANDS) is a small to mid-sized private nonprofit based in Erie, Pennsylvania, that operates in the real estate sector with a focus on housing and neighborhood development. What began as a volunteer effort more than four decades ago has evolved into an organization that coordinates housing initiatives with educational and supportive services to improve residents’ quality of life. HANDS emphasizes a holistic approach, supporting families and providing senior residents with a safer, more connected community. Across Northwestern Pennsylvania, HANDS has overseen the development of more than forty housing projects, yielding over 1,000 affordable housing units across nine counties. Its work serves families seeking affordable housing and seniors seeking stable, supportive environments, with the aim of strengthening neighborhood vitality. In 2021, HANDS announced the opening of new affordable housing units in east Erie as part of neighborhood revitalization efforts.
