Homebuyer education and counseling are being offered to guide individuals through the home-buying process. This initiative includes classes and personalized support. Additionally, down payment and closing cost assistance is available in the form of 0% interest loans for eligible buyers, aiming to make homeownership more accessible.
The organization manages 251 rental units across 58 properties, providing quality housing options at affordable rates. Real estate development efforts focus on revitalizing neighborhoods through home renovation, new construction, and community space development.
Community engagement is also a priority, with initiatives like Good Neighbor Week designed to build connections, elevate resident voices, and strengthen neighborhoods. The organization emphasizes that strong communities are built together and encourages community involvement through volunteering at events, serving on committees, donating, partnering as a business, or spreading the word about their work.
Looking forward, there is excitement about exploring the creation of a Community Land Trust in collaboration with community partners and the City of Green Bay. This tool aims to help families achieve and maintain homeownership while preserving long-term housing affordability.
