Part 2 of Fahe’s continuing series on the housing crisis in Appalachia has posted! Hear from Lindy Turner, ED of Clinch Powell RC&D, about the roots of the housing problem in the Appalachian counties of Tennessee. It’s not all bad news. Turner says, “The basis of our philosophy is building family wealth. Housing as shelter is extremely important, but our focus is really about stable families, stable communities, and wealth building. It’s extremely encouraging to us to see that our philosophy is bearing fruit.” #WeAreFahe https://lnkd.in/eMY7uemT

There is no place like home. And, just as importantly, homeownership is one of the best ways to build wealth.

In Part I of a series of interviews about the housing crisis, Jim King talks about how Fahe is rising to meet the crisis in Appalachia. “We could lead the economic prospects of large parts of Appalachia differently, if we started with a community focus, rather than a job focus. There must be housing choices,” says King. #HomeownershipMonth #WeareFahe https://lnkd.in/e_H3S2V5

Financial inclusion matters. BIPOC communities need access to mortgage products. Fahe partners with Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) and Oweesta Corporation to expand access, and increase the capacity and capital of organizations that serve these communities. https://lnkd.in/g6yy-BFi #HomeownershipMonth #WeareFahe
