Looking Ahead into the Future
Through HomeFront’s efforts, we have encouraged and provided economic opportunity for local lenders, Realtors, appraisers, attorneys, title companies, and many local building and reconstruction contractors. We have increased local business sales of building materials, household appliances and remodeling supplies.
Networking and cooperative agreements have been developed with many nonprofit agencies, municipal government offices, state and federal agencies, and private businesses to reduce duplicating services, to coordinate agency services and to leverage state and federal funds for Washington County.
The direct client benefit is HomeFront’s ability to blend many client needs with housing repair and purchase needs to assist lower income individual and families’ affordable housing needs.
