WHY WE DO IT
The lack of affordable housing is holding families back and causing deep problems.
Poverty. Homelessness. Educational disparities.
But through affordable homeownership the lives of families are changed forever.
By giving neighbors a hand-up to homeownership, First Story is helping write new chapters.
Financial stability. Asset-building. Achievement of dreams.
This is why we do it.
