about




Proud Ground helps people buy their first home--affordably. We serve young people, older people, married, single, families, friends. We help people with stable incomes and steady jobs who can qualify for a mortgage of about $130,000, which is the average cost of a Proud Ground home -- and is much less than a market-rate home.

Buying a home through Proud Ground is not only affordable; it's safe and stable. No getting in over your head, no adjustable-rate mortgages with balloon payments. Our homeowners buy homes they can afford, with monthly payments close to (and often less than) what they were paying in rent. We provide lots of help and support before and after homeowners buy.

Our homes are safe, sound, energy-efficient and solid. From newly constructed or newly renovated homes, to financial tools and practical guidance, Proud Ground has worked since 1999 to give homeowners equity and stability, and our region homes that will remain affordable for generations to come.

our goals

Prosperous families. Today, home equity represents more than 80% of the typical family's wealth. But owning a home provides more than equity. Homeownership also means stable payments, a secure place to call home and an opportunity to invest in the future.

Smart investments. Home ownership remains beyond the reach of many families. Our community invests in Proud Ground to give families access to affordable homeownership, and all of the related benefits, for generations to come.

Strong communities. Vibrant neighborhoods depend on stable families and businesses that are invested in their neighborhood and community. From the local school to the corner store to city hall, the whole community benefits when a family owns their home.

Help support stable, strong communities.
