The Washington Family: From Condemned to Community Anchor
A family of four living in a 1948 bungalow facing condemnation. The city had issued a notice of violation for failing roof, knob-and-tube wiring, and a crumbling foundation. The family had lived there for 22 years and had nowhere to go.
HomeHero connected them with a $68,000 CDFI loan at 5.1% APR through our Capital Bridge Coalition, matched with a $12,000 state weatherization grant — covering 100% of repair costs with a $340/month payment.
