Foundation Communities

Foundation Communities was created in 1990 with a focus on empowering low-income families and individuals and has become a national leader in the asset-building movement. The nonprofit owns 18 affordable housing communities that provide apartments and duplexes to over 2,800 low-income families. It employs a "service-enriched" housing model that focuses on ending the cycle of poverty through housing and on-site service centers, providing programs such as financial literacy and education.  It also has a matched savings program, which provides a $2 match for every $1 saved for the purpose of purchasing a home, college tuition, or small business expansion.
