The Housing Enterprise of Central Alabama (HECA) opened in 2003 to significantly increase the affordable housing choices for families in Central Alabama.

HECA's affliates include the non-profit,  Housing Fund of Central Alabama, (the Fund), which provides grants and operates the Non-Profit Incubator, Red Iron Housing Development Company, a non-profit development company that rehabs in Birmingham neighborhoods and T H E Development, LLC.
