Proud Ground. Rising housing costs—be it renting or ownership—take a greater share of a family’s income than ever before. And given the nature of job-creation and wages in today’s economy, that’s not likely to change.
Proud Ground provides opportunity in this new reality. Proud Ground provides affordable homeownership opportunities for hardworking families with stable jobs and steady incomes–families who can qualify for a home loan, just not one at market rate. And because Proud Ground homes are forever-affordable, families have access to the stability and wealth-building that come with homeownership resale after resale–and our region has a growing supply of homes that are affordable for generations to come. Proud Ground works with Living Cully to create affordable homeownership opportunities in and around the Cully neighborhood.
