We are very excited about this partnership to get more African Americans and other people of color financially fit and ready for homeownership. Purchasing a home is an important part of the foundation to create personal financial strength and we are excited to open our doors to educate and help the people we serve establish a legacy of financial empowerment that will last for generations.”
