The National Affordable Housing Network was founded as a non-profit organization in 1994. Our mission is to help develop and transfer high performance affordable housing techniques that benefit those in need. In the years since, the Network has done grass roots technology transfer through its detailed house plans and technical assistance. With a focus on those wanting to build their own homes. Self help housing is a means by which individuals and households can make a permanent move toward sustainable living by building their own award winning passive solar, superinsulated homes. Homes that are ready for the net-zero energy goals of tomorrow. There is a need for advanced energy performance and conservation. The Network’s two decades of field experience proves the case that these technologies are ready NOW for immediate implementation.
