“As I settle into my new home, I reflect on the journey that brought me here. I am beyond grateful for the FSS program [Family Self-Sufficiency] and the dedicated Compass staff who believed in me and supported me every step of the way. As we continue to address issues of wage disparity, affordable housing, and burdensome student loans which drives economic inequality, we must recognize and invest in existing programs like FSS that provide the tools and support necessary for families with low incomes to realize their homeowning dreams.”
