Pillar 01
Housing
Restored homes for families without one.
Why housing
The precondition for everything else.
A safe place to sleep is the precondition for every other good thing in a person's life. Without it, children can't attend school consistently, adults can't hold steady employment, and families can't accumulate the small daily wins that compound into stability.
The U.S. has both a housing supply problem and an affordability problem that markets alone are not solving. We can't fix that at scale — but we can take one home at a time, restore it, and put it in the hands of a family who needs it.
How it works
Four steps from foreclosure to family.
-
1
Identify
Distressed homes available through Fannie Mae's HomePath program — the GSE's portfolio of foreclosed properties.
-
2
Acquire
At a discount, with terms structured around community benefit and a commitment to keep the home affordable.
-
3
Rehabilitate
Bringing each home up to safe, livable, energy-efficient standards.
-
4
Place
Partnering with vetted local affordable-housing nonprofits to match the home with a qualified family.
Partners
Who we work with.
The HomePath program is operated by Fannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association). Local rehabilitation contractors and family-placement partners are vetted case-by-case.

Every dollar designated to housing goes to the housing program.
