Strong economically diverse communities are important ingredients in reducing poverty and improving the futures of low-income families. Regardless of income, most families have the same concerns - security, employment, getting the best possible education for their children and wanting a safe, decent place to live. Homeownership opportunities create an infrastructure for families that encourages stability, supports neighborhood economic development and provides a variety of resources for children, youth and adults. Homeownership opportunities allow residents the ability to gain economic independence and increase self-sufficiency. It creates neighborhoods of choice, improving our sense of place and pride. Homeownership adds new investment to our communities and allows us to restore hope and equal opportunities for all Rock Island residents.
