Breaking the Cycle of Poverty through Homeownership
It's not enough to provide support that keeps families in poverty. We need to do something to move families out of generational poverty.

Building Foundations for Families

Kent Attainable Housing is a nonprofit breaking the cycle of poverty by building or renovating affordable houses and partnering with low income, working families to prepare for and buy a home.  Expanding home ownership to families in need builds foundations for healthier, happier and more productive families and a stronger community.

Our Work

We buy property, design or renovate homes, landscape the yards and partner with low-income families to buy the home.  We build the capacity of our applicants to successfully own a home through required workshops in financial literacy, home ownership, and budget management.  We use community volunteers and partners to help make the homes affordable and to mentor applicants through the process.

“This is a very exciting project that is a win-win for this community.  It’s a fantastic example of strategic infill development for the Town, the neighborhood will benefit from the improvement of a vacant lot, and this is an amazing opportunity for a limited income family to move into their own home.” —Mayor Chris Cerino
“The mission of the organization is greatly needed in this county (and so many places) and you and the board should feel good about the needs you have identified and are willing to take the steps to make a difference.”     Susan Newton-Rhodes Director, Summit
