About Us

Founded in 1974, Adams County commissioners initially established Adams County Housing Authority (ACHA) to further the mission of creating and preserving the vision of safe and affordable housing for all residents. A small housing authority in comparison to counterparts across the country, ACHA was always nimble and progressive in its approach. And in 2018, the organization changed its name to Unison Housing Partners to further harness the momentum of its progressive efforts. This new name defied the stereotypes of affordable housing and was reflective of the coming together of communities to support the hard working individuals and families on the path towards stability and economic independence.

From 2018 to 2020, Unison focused heavily on developing a strong and inclusive culture that evolved the organization and its vision for the future. In early 2020, Unison chose to change its name once again to Maiker Housing Partners to better reflect this forward-thinking momentum and the next chapter for the innovative public housing authority serving Adams County.

Maiker represents the identity and meaning we get from creating a home that is a combination of a safe, stable and affordable physical space, and a thriving community that provides access to jobs, services, transportation and social engagement for all residents.
