“Maintaining diversity in this community is a worthwhile project and something I feel like I can connect with. We are at our best when we recognize that community means some people give more than they take and others, at times, need to take more than they can give. I believe it is our obligation to do this for each other.” - John Geri

Testimonials about Yellow Springs Home, Inc.
"I appreciate not only the financial support I received but also the fact that Home Inc was able to gather an excellent team of professionals which I wouldn’t have been able to find on my own. And along the way other things were done too, which significantly elevated my quality of life." -Carlos Landaburu, Carol M. Peterson Home Repair Grant Recipient
"Home, Inc. helps people from all walks of life become homeowners, with a guiding hand every step of the way. They enhance our sense of community and bring together new and old friends. Homeownership can be quite an intimidating process but the kind folks at Home, Inc. make it easy, worthwhile, and rewarding." -Cathleen Tong, Homeowner & Former Board Member
“The fact is, I have some wonderful friends who live here who couldn’t without Home, Inc. and I’m really grateful for that.” - Kathy Phillips
“Seeing a community, especially the community in which you live, through the eyes of an affordable housing developer provides a very unique perspective. You see the community as a complex organism, in which it is your role to provide the lifeblood of that organism, the members of the community, with something beyond the shelter. Building affordable housing is more than just putting a roof over people’s heads. Providing people with homes gives them an investment in their locality, allows them to feel secure, and allows them to build equity. Helping people become homeowners is helping people make memories, make communities, and make houses and homes. When you begin to understand the benefits that go along with homeownership the issue gains a new dimension. At its core affordable housing is far more than a socioeconomic issue, it is a cultural issue. How we house our workers is inextricably linked to the way we view labor. How we allow the privilege of homeownership to be distributed says volumes about our willingness to commit to basic equity. How we structure our communities is directly linked to how we value diversity in our culture. Suffice to say, my time at Home, Inc. has been a time of growth and inspiration for me. Being part of a mission to which people are so sincerely and powerfully committed has been a life-changing experience.” - Eros X, Spring 2012 Miller Fellow
“One of the reasons I decided to rejoin the Home Inc. Board was because I wanted others to have the same opportunity to live in our village that we did—in an affordable home. I like the other board members, and the fact that it is an action-oriented organization. We do more than just sit around and talk.” - Joan Horn, Former Board Member & Volunteer
“Yellow Springs is a vibrant community worth investing in. I am amazed and humbled by the number of people willing to give their time, resources, and expertise for a mission that strengthens our community as a whole. We are all in this together—making strides to build for generations.” - Emily Seibel, Executive Director
