On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, the downtown Hyatt Regency was filled with energy, gratitude, and purpose as friends and supporters gathered to celebrate Working In Neighborhoods (WIN) 45 years of dedicated service to building sustainable, thriving communities.

A highlight of the evening was the proclamation of November 20, 2024, as “Working In Neighborhoods Day” by Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Driehaus and Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval, recognizing WIN’s commitment to transforming neighborhoods through homeownership, financial literacy, and leadership development.

For over four decades, WIN has engaged families where they are, providing knowledge, confidence, and hope to help them achieve transformational change. WIN’s philosophy of community engagement and partnership empowers families to build home equity, create generational wealth, and break the cycle of poverty.
Thanks to the generosity of attendees and sponsors, the event raised over $214,000 to further WIN’s vital programs, including homeownership support, financial literacy training, and community leadership development.
WIN is profoundly grateful to everyone who attended, supported, and championed our mission over the years.
