I appreciate the guidance and wisdom that the program offered. David and Regina are helping the community where there is a need.”

YOUTH PROGRAM

“I have been working with Build Wealth since 2012. I have completed the Family Stabilization Plan, purchased a home and now have been working on business ventures with the team at Build Wealth. It has been a great experience. They gave me guidance on financial planning and small business moves. I will be referring my children to the program as soon as they are eligible to participate.”

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

“We started as the “A Team” when we were in the very first Family Stabilization class. Build Wealth did not give up on us and my family stuck with it. Now we are proud owners of a 5 bedroom 2 bath house with 4 acres 10 years later. Once again Thank You Build Wealth.”

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

“I often thought of attending a homebuyers class before purchasing another house. I wanted some additional knowledge that I lacked with my first house purchase. Build Wealth gave me that knowledge I was seeking and more.”

GROUP RESULT

“This program saved me. I was in a homeless program. I never thought I could buy a house and be out of debt in two years. This program is amazing and I will tell everyone about it. The staff are helpful and nice. I am blessed to be in this program. ”
