“We believe homeownership is the foundation for strong neighborhoods and communities,” said MaryBeth Aldrich, Housing Resources, Inc., Racine Program Manager. “Statistics show that primarily owner-occupied neighborhoods have higher home values and lower crime rates, and kids who live in these neighborhoods have better educational and health outcomes. SC Johnson’s support will help our organization provide families with the necessary information to improve their lives through homeownership, improving their community in the process.”
Housing Resources, Inc. is a minority-run agency and was founded in 1991 to provide homebuyer counseling services in Milwaukee. In 2000, the organization extended services to Racine County.
