Washington, D.C. – NeighborWorks® America announced today housing and lending activities by its nationwide network of nonprofit community development organizations resulted in $2.32 billion of total investment into the creation and preservation of affordable homeownership and rental housing. Federal investment in NeighborWorks America is an efficient and effective way to deliver affordable housing dollars, with every dollar of federal appropriation multiplied 71 times on behalf of individuals and families across America. 
Cindy Vidal struggled to find a place she could afford – a home where she could raise her children in a safe, stable environment. That search ended when she discovered Guardian Village, a newly opened housing development in the heart of Reedley, California. The village shows how NeighborWorks network organizations are creating homes and building America. Veterans are also being helped by these new apartment homes.

Marietta Rodriguez

Marietta Rodriguez knows what it’s like to be a new homebuyer because she was one. "I was 25 and living in a high-cost area," she says. “There was absolutely no way I could buy a home without someone holding my hand and walking me through it.” The folks holding her hand were from a NeighborWorks network organization that provided counseling and financial assistance to first-time homebuyers. Soon, Rodriguez went to work for the organization that assisted her so that she could help more people in her hometown.
