Feature Family of the Month 

The Brisolara Family 

"After my wife and I were married, we moved into a little place where we rented for five years. During that time our family grew and we were blessed with two wonderful children.  As we began to outgrow our apartment we started to notice many of our friends moving into homes of their own. My wife and I discussed many times how amazing it would be to someday buy a house for our family. Sadly, it felt like a dream that awaited us in the distant future. We felt that we lacked the confidence and especially the financial ability to purchase a home.  One day, in talking with a friend, she mentioned a program that her family had found called Housing Our Communities. She explained that the program gave home ownership preparation classes along with down payment assistance to those looking to purchase a home. It sounded a little too good to us to be true, but we decided to investigate nonetheless. After our first introductory meeting, we left astonished at what we had stumbled upon. We enrolled in the program immediately and begin to move through the wonderful process this company has organized.  The classes were very educational and gave us the knowledge and confidence we needed to feel good about pursuing a home of our own. Later we were assigned a realtor and began to look at houses. We eventually found a beautiful home exactly like the untouchable dream house we had talked about so many times in the past. Housing our communities helped us with financial assistance so that we were able to purchase this home for our family. It is impossible to describe all the ways that Housing Our Communities brought this dream to life for us.  It is a program too good to be true but is in reality everything we could have hoped for and more. We are so thankful to Housing Our Communities and the wonderful people there that make the program so incredible. Thank you for helping our family so that we can live in a beautiful home of our own."

Sincerely,
