NeighborWorks America's latest survey findings show that consumers are 59% likely to use banks to assist in the homebuying process. It's one of the many reasons we're excited about our partnership with American Bankers Association to grow homeownership and wealth generation, particularly in low-to-moderate income communities.
FANTASTIC!! Congratulations!
Grateful for your partnership, Marietta Rodriguez!
Earlier today, we had the privilege of welcoming Michael J. Hsu, Acting Comptroller of the Currency (#OCC), and a delegation from the OCC to New Orleans. Together with our NeighborWorks Network Organizations, Providence Community Housing and Gulf Coast Housing Partnership, Inc., we visited their incredible affordable housing developments. 🏡 The visit provided a valuable opportunity for open dialogue and knowledge exchange. Discussions centered around the challenges and successes in creating sustainable, affordable housing solutions and the importance of collaboration between the OCC and community organizations like ours. We deeply thank the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and our partners for their dedication to strengthening communities through affordable housing. #NeighborWorks #AffordableHousing
Scammed out of their American Dream, these Brooklyn residents faced eviction. But hope came in the form of our NeighborWorks network member, Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE). #AAFE saved their building from foreclosure and is helping them become homeowners! 🙌 This is the power of community.

Getting ready for Pittsburgh! 🧵💛🖤 Yesterday, the moms (and other family members) of our NeighborWorks America staff came together at our D.C. headquarters for a special project.

The blankets will be made at our upcoming NeighborWorks Training Institute in Pittsburgh (Aug. 26-30) – and yes, the fabric features the colors of Pittsburgh's beloved sports teams! 🏈⚾️🏒🐧 Did you know NeighborWorks has roots in Pittsburgh?

Did you know ... ? Homeownership among single women is on the rise. While this journey is not always easy, especially for women of color, NeighborWorks network organizations are providing essential tools to help overcome obstacles to the homebuying process and achieve financial independence.
Many Americans keep telling themselves, "I can't afford a home." And not even pursuing the option. Our President & CEO Marietta Rodriguez and National Housing Conference's President & CEO David M. Dworkin share how homeownership is possible by talking about their own journeys through the homebuying process. Listen to the podcast!
