Affordable Housing

Finding Your Home

We identify and assess potential properties for rehabilitation. In collaboration with real estate agents and community organizations we pinpoint vacant or dilapidated properties that can be developed into future homes. We have an extensive network of builders and sub-contractors that we engage to conduct thorough assessments to focus on structural integrity, safety, and the potential for energy-efficient upgrades. With these assessments we get a clear picture of the investment needed on the property to turn it into a home. We ensure that the builds align with our sustainable building practices.

Homeowner Education

We want to ensure that every family and person we work with is well prepared for homeownership. We have developed homeowner education that cover important aspects of homeownership, such as mortgage financing, home maintenance, property taxes, insurance, and legal responsibilities. Each module or live session is designed to build upon the previous one. We have interactive workshops that  incorporate discussions, case studies, and real-life scenarios to help participants understand and apply the concepts being taught.
