Homeownership Blog

All things homeownership for renters, owners, and everyone in between.

Hello! And welcome to our Homeownership Blog where you’ll find updates, insights, and stories from our GROWTH team.  At GROWTH, we have one goal in mind – making homeownership possible for more people!

Homeownership seems further and further out of reach for many Americans. But we believe in a future where everyone has the opportunity to own their own home.  Whether you are just starting your home search, have been struggling to get approved for a mortgage, or have simply been too overwhelmed to try – we’re here to help you unlock life’s next chapter.

Ready for the next step? Check out our Properties page or our Resources tab to start your journey with GROWTH.

No matter where you start in life, or the neighborhood you live in, every family deserves the opportunity to own a home, start building wealth, and enjoy the American dream. Our mission is to make homeownership possible for more people.
