MISSION STATEMENT

 To provide affordable alternatives to local community residents who wish to own their own homes.

 BACKGROUND

 Started by a team of three real estate investors in Northeast Ohio, the Forever Home Project addresses the need for affordable housing for those who aspire to home ownership but cannot qualify for a loan because of low credit scores or low real estate values.

The Forever Home Project takes donated single family homes and rehabs or repairs them to sell directly to local community members. Various purchase options are available:

            • outright purchase through a conventional mortgage obtained outside of The Forever Home Project;

            • land contracts, consisting of a down-payment, a fixed monthly payment and a balloon payment after twelve, twenty-four or thirty-six months obtained through a conventional mortgage obtained outside of The Forever Home Project;

            • a mortgage through The Forever Home Project for qualified applicants. Qualified applicants are former homeowners who lost their homes to foreclosure through inflated appraisal mortgages, applicants with no credit, applicants on disability and those who can afford to make monthly payments but may not qualify for a conventional loan.

In addition to purchasing homes in The Forever Home Project, some homes may be donated outright to qualified applicants when available.

On Black Friday, three women, Lisa Walters, founder of Bridges of Hope Charity, Danielle Hayduk, co-founder of The Forever Home Project and longtime missionary Diane Becker will be leaving Ohio for Long Island, NY to serve hot food to 800 people at the Salvation Army in Freeport on Saturday, November 24. Early December they will be shipping donations of items requested by the residents of the coastline towns directly to the Mayor’s office in Freeport for distribution. Residents can drop off their wish lists on Saturday the 24th.

Volunteers from Maximo Zion church in OH chipped in to bake cookies, bread and quick breads for the trip. As this grass-roots effort catches the attention of local media, new volunteers are joining in and expressing their desire to be part of an on-going effort to help Long Islanders get back on their feet.

Born from a livingroom conversation by two friends with a similar desire to help those in need, the Sandy Relief Effort has enlisted the talents of seasoned disaster relief volunteer workers, The Salvation Army in Freeport, NY, and a myriad of local companies, organizations and individuals both on Long Island and in Ohio.

Lisa Walters founded the Bridges of Hope Charity in early 2012, to promote events throughout the year in the Alliance area highlighting Ohio based individuals and groups that share a common goal of bringing the Word of God, unity, and harmony to Christ’s Community.

The Forever Home Project is the brainchild of three Ohio real estate investors, Danielle Hayduk, Brian Woods and Paul Brazie, and addresses the need for affordable housing for those who aspire to home ownership but cannot qualify for conventional financing.
