Lynda & Mai
“When we walked in our front door the first time we felt hope for our future, and a bit of relief from financial worry,” says Lynda, botanist for the US Forest Service, Proud Ground board member, and Proud Ground homeowner.
Lynda and Mai dreamed of financial stability, yet were unable to get a loan for a market-rate home. Then Mai saw a poster at work about homeownership through Proud Ground; now their monthly house payments are $100 less than their rent, and winter utility bills are about 250% less than when they were renting!
Mai really wants people to know about the buying process through Proud Ground. “This process has been empowering, not degrading or intimidating. This is a testament to the people at Proud Ground, who really are working to help educate and assist in the complicated process of homeownership.”
“Now that we are homeowners, we feel rooted, connected,” continue Lynda and Mai. “If we were able to buy a home on the modest income of a graduate student and a Service Manager, you can probably do it, too. And you deserve it!”
