Vision & Mission
Meadville Housing Corporation began with our Hillcrest Development, built in 1936 as Meadville’s first large-scale housing development, created to address a severe housing shortage during the Great Depression. Despite the national economic crisis, Meadville’s booming industries, such as Talon Zipper and American Viscose, needed housing for their growing workforces. The Meadville Chamber of Commerce led the effort, securing federal backing through the newly formed FHA and rallying local businesses and residents to raise funds.
The project became a national model, praised for its innovative approach and community support. Hillcrest’s design featured safe cul-de-sac streets and varied home styles. Today, Hillcrest remains a vibrant neighborhood, reflecting Meadville’s resilience and forward-thinking spirit.
Our Mission is to provide Safe and Truly Affordable homes for all ages.
