Our Story
We got our start as GROWTH by NCRC, an initiative of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC). GROWTH stands for "Generating Real Opportunities for Work Through Housing."
Our mission has always been to promote homeownership for low-to-moderate-income families and/or in low-to-moderate income neighborhoods.
We believe homeownership is an essential part of the American Dream and that every family should be able to own a home and enjoy the financial benefits that homeownership provides.
GROWTH’s goal is to help reverse the long-term effects of income disparity and lack of access to better, mixed-income neighborhoods.
​
GROWTH by NCRC has evolved into Growth Homes, which was created to advance affordable homeownership for low-to-moderate-income individuals and/or communities. GROWTH Homes is responding to the national inventory crisis primarily by building new homes in communities where investment has lagged those made in other markets. We believe that the creation and preservation of homeownership remains our Nation’s best tool for intergenerational wealth-building and community stabilization and revitalization. Our innovation is in partnering with cities and regions, and the banks serving them, seeking to provide homeownership for working-class Americans.
