First Story collaborates with builder Hayden Homes, Simplicity by Hayden Homes, and in-kind partners to construct or fully refurbish homes.
The homes are then sold to individuals and families earning 80 percent of area median income or below through First Story's innovative loan program, which provides loans at zero-down, zero-percent interest for 30 years.
