Sustainable Home Ownership Coalition
The Sustainable Home Ownership (SHO) Initiative is a LISC Phoenix-led coalition of 13 nonprofit community development organizations (CDCs) and community organizations administered by Housing Our Communities, Inc. (HOC). The SHO Initiative is a consumer-oriented approach to most effectively and efficiently provide sustainable affordable homeownership opportunities for low- to moderate-income homebuyers and mitigate the effect of the foreclosure crisis on neighborhoods. This will be achieve in part because the Coalition employs a long-term strategy to promote the nonprofit sector and increase capacity of existing nonprofits; creates a single-source solution for jurisdictions and REO servicers and buyers; and streamlines and standardizes program activities, such as counseling, rehabilitation and reporting.
