Homebuyer Stories

In the deeply individual details of each journey, and in their powerful common themes, we find gold: a person-centered, family-centered, community-centered call for specific changes in relationships, policies, processes, institutions, and systems. BHI Network partners are committed to carrying these stories with us as we take on our shared priority.

We welcome you to join us in reading, learning, and reflecting on ways you can be part of the change.


“If I can get any person to just be more engaged in housing, or if I can get one other person in a house by my story, then I will always take the time.”
