Southeast Non-Profit Housing Celebrates 20 Years of Service, Expands Reach Across the Region

Formally known as Alabama Non-Profit Housing Inc., the organization has expanded throughout the Southeast, rebranding as Southeast Non-Profit Housing Inc. (SENPH) to reflect its broader impact. This milestone coincides with the celebration of the organization’s 20th anniversary, marking two decades of advancing affordable housing and workforce development solutions for families. SENPH’s mission is to improve our communities by providing housing and workforce development solutions for families. Primarily focused in rural communities across the southeast, SENPH has 14 office locations in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina.

The vision for Southeast Non-Profit Housing Inc. began in 2006 with the development of a grant proposal that laid the foundation for the group’s first housing project. That vision culminated in 2011 with the opening of Casa Bonita , a ten-unit community in Oneonta, Alabama, funded by USDA Rural Development. Casa Bonita was the organization’s first completed project and remains a cornerstone of its mission today.

What began in Oneonta Alabama 20 years ago has now grown into a regional effort. The expansion into Georgia and North Carolina reflects both the growing needs of rural families and our ongoing commitment to providing housing, career development, and supportive services across the Southeast.

Building on its foundation of affordable housing initiatives, SENPH has also expanded its focus on workforce development with an emphasis on empowering farmworkers and their families. Through comprehensive career and training programs—including job placement support, work experience, and on-the-job training with local businesses—SENPH is working to increase access to economic opportunity and long-term stability across the region.
