Our job at Genesis Entrepreneur Bootstrap Funding is to find hidden gems in the non-profit housing arena who are doing a good job and getting great results. We have found this in Family Resources of New Orleans. Just read what past participants in other programs are saying.
Lynell B.
At the age of 65 and recently retired, I felt I was too old to purchase my first home. All of my kids were grown and gone. I heard about the homeownership program in my neighborhood and decided to pay a visit to Family Resources of New Orleans.
As a single mom with two school age girls, I worked hard to give my daughters the best life. I knew that public housing was only a temporary means to help me save and plan to one day own my own home.
I was born with a visual impairment, yet I never felt isolated. I was raised by a strong grandmother and family who nurtured and advocated for my independence.
At Genesis Entrepreneur Bootstrap Funding we take 100% of the responsibility that the money we raise is allocated the way we promise. First, by having an advisory role in all spending matters. Second, by partnering the donor with the recipient they are helping. Third, by establishing an advisory board of donors to keep us in tune with their concerns.
