    making homeownership affordable & communities stronger

    Together with our partners, we are addressing the affordable housing crisis through an integrated approach that focuses on giving individuals a hand up to homeownership while encouraging inclusivity.  And we are proud to support other charitable causes dedicated to serving the most vulnerable populations where we are building homes.

    *Due to ongoing restrictions surrounding the pandemic, First Story’s annual charity golf and bash will look a little different this year. Although we would love to welcome back our typical huge rowdy crowd, attendance will be limited and safety protocols for guests will be in place.  We will communicate details directly to all of our sponsors, golfers and guests. Thanks for your ongoing support!
