SYSTER Project, House to HOME : Stability, Wellness & Housing Assistance Program

Moretta House to HOME Program.

At the heart of Moretta Community Development Foundation’s mission is the Moretta House to HOME Program, a transformative initiative designed to bridge the gap between housing insecurity and homeownership. This program equips individuals and families with the knowledge, financial tools, and resources needed to navigate the path to stable housing, homeownership, and long-term financial well-being.

The House to HOME Program takes a comprehensive, equity and access-driven approach to housing stability and wealth-building, ensuring that historically underserved communities have access to the same opportunities for generational wealth creation as others.

Key Components of the House to HOME Program:
- Homeownership Education & Coaching – We provide first-time homebuyers with step-by-step guidance on purchasing a home, understanding mortgage options, and accessing down payment assistance programs. Our expert-led workshops and coaching sessions empower individuals to make informed decisions.
- Financial Literacy & Credit Building – A critical step in securing stable housing is financial readiness. Our program offers credit-building resources, debt reduction strategies, and money management tools to help participants improve their financial standing and qualify for homeownership opportunities.
- Housing Stability & Rental Assistance Navigation – Not everyone is ready to buy immediately, so we support individuals in securing stable rental housing, preventing eviction, and connecting with resources that help build financial security.
- Affordable Housing Advocacy & Access – We partner with community organizations, lenders, and policymakers to advocate for more inclusive and affordable housing options while connecting families to financial assistance and housing support programs.
- Sustainability & Healthy Homes – Homeownership isn’t just about buying a house—it’s about maintaining a home. Our program includes resources on energy efficiency, home maintenance, and sustainable homeownership practices to help families thrive long after they receive the keys.

Why House to HOME Matters
The lack of affordable housing, rising financial barriers, and systemic inequities continue to prevent many families from achieving stable housing and homeownership. The House to HOME Program directly addresses these challenges by equipping individuals with the skills, resources, and support systems necessary for long-term financial and housing success.
Through House to HOME, we are not just placing families in homes—we are creating lasting pathways to financial security, economic mobility, and generational wealth for communities that have been historically excluded from homeownership opportunities.
