Our Mission

Our Work

Since 1978, Working In Neighborhoods has revitalized communities and helped families gain equity by renovating and building homes for first time homeowners, providing financial literacy training, and training neighborhood residents to work together to improve their own communities. Leveraging partnerships with national and local lenders, WIN has produced over $700 million in conventional mortgage loans all invested in Cincinnati’s low and moderate income neighborhoods.

OUR PROCESS
FOR BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

Give residents the tools they need to improve their credit scores and comfortably buy their first home, avoid predatory lending practices.

Working In Neighborhoods builds new homes on vacant lots and rehabs homes that are in disrepair, focusing on energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades whenever possible to help ensure low energy bills. We then sell the homes to local residents who are ready to become first-time homeowners.

As more new and rehabbed homes are added to the community the housing stock improves.

As the housing stock improves, housing prices start to recover, and homeowners begin to see their investments in their homes increase.

WIN works with residents to create a strategic action plan and trains residents in how to work together with local governments to make needed improvements, resolve community challenges, and build strong community bonds.

All these elements work together to help WIN create sustainable, resilient communities that work together to make their neighborhoods enjoyable and thriving places to live.
