Homeownership Center of Tacoma
Executive Director
Homeownership Center of Tacoma, Tacoma, Washington, us, 98417
Organization Overview
Our mission is to foster equitable and sustainable homeownership, creating pathways to generational wealth and stability for low-to-moderate-income people from marginalized communities.
HCNW builds new and rehabilitates existing homes and offers them for purchase to our vetted pipeline of homebuyers. HCNW walks alongside our potential homebuyers, providing the education and financial counseling necessary to help them become ready and confident in their decision to purchase a home. Once a qualified homebuyer has been matched with one of our homes for sale, we provide significant downpayment assistance needed to satisfy lender requirements for a home loan. It is this combination of home development in concert with homebuyer support services that has allowed HCNW to succeed in its mission for the last 30 years.
