HOMEWISE News:SANTA FE ― In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Homewise is launching an interactive storybook online.
This new online feature will include a timeline of client stories and milestones as well as a “then and now” comparison of life in New Mexico in 1986 to today.
Clients will also be invited to share their own stories of their journey to homeownership as well as personal anecdotes and experiences as Homewise owners.
Homewise will be celebrating with special events throughout the year, including a community event in June at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe. More details about all of the upcoming events will be available via an events calendar on the Homewise website.
Mike Loftin, CEO of Homewise, states that, “We couldn’t be more excited to be celebrating our 30th year of helping to build stronger communities through homeownership. While our numbers tell a story of success, it’s really the stories of our clients that show the true impact of working together toward our mission. ’30 stories from 30 years’ is a great way to share real life stories of inspiration and achievement from so many clients who once believed that homeownership was a goal beyond their reach.”
Since Homewise’s founding in 1986, over 12,800 households have attended their educational workshops. During that time they’ve assisted over 3,500 people purchase homes, helped over 2,000 make energy efficient home improvements, refinanced more than 600 mortgages and built over 600 high quality, affordable homes.
