Who We Are
FOHH was formed in 2017 as a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization based in Alexandria, VA. Our mission is to support the historically significant Hollin Hills Historic District, a prominent MCM community listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

We strive to foster dialogue on the Hollin Hills architecture and aesthetic and preserve the health of communal park lands and landscape for future generations through meaningful community development and fundraising, educational programming, and project underwriting.

We aim to expand the public's awareness and enjoyment of the Hollin Hills Historic District as a national historic resource.

​FOHH is led by a volunteer board of directors and supported by a volunteer advisory board. The board of directors plays an essential part in shaping strategy, creating programs to preserve history, education, and outreach, and underwriting conservation efforts to achieve the important mission of protecting the Hollin Hills Historic District. The advisory board provides guidance and assistance where and when applicable. We cannot thank everyone enough for their volunteer efforts, services, assistance, and guidance.
