What we aim to solve
At Housing Is Your Right, our mission is to address housing instability, particularly prevalent in marginalized communities. We recognize that stable housing is a cornerstone of overall stability in a person's life. Our goal is not limited to solving housing issues alone; we aspire to create a ripple effect of positive change. We understand that when individuals have a stable home, it has a profound impact on various aspects of their lives. To this end, we are committed to bridging the educational gap for low-income people of color. By providing educational opportunities and support, we aim to empower individuals to cultivate a stable home environment. This stability, in turn, will radiate positively into other areas of their lives, fostering personal growth and community development.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The mission of this organization is to ensure that everyone has a place to call home, as we firmly believe that housing is a fundamental human right. Our primary goal is to foster economic mobility because we recognize the profound impact that housing stability can have on individuals and communities. By providing stable housing, we aim to create a solid foundation upon which people can build stable lives, positively influencing various facets of their well-being, including education, mental health, and overall quality of life.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our organizations strategies for making this happen is to connect and support those in dire housing crisis. We have created an Outreach Program designed like a call center that works directly with the community. The Outreach Program will collect information from those in need and asses their housing situation from there we will educate them on what is currently happening to them and their house. We will then curate multiple solutions from which they can pick from to proceed with. We will then continue to educate and support them through the process to get them in the best place for their financial and housing future. What will allow this to work is our program being comprised of well educated individuals regarding housing and financial contracts. Though there is always room for those who do not have expertise. We have volunteer positions to help us get more funding, direct calls and do research for the call center. The strategies placed will keep more people in their homes.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our organization has a proven track record of effectively achieving our goal of housing stability, as demonstrated by our successful past case studies. While we have made significant impacts on a smaller scale, we recognize that with the support of others, our reach could extend even further.
With the compassion and financial support of partners and supporters, we could make a profound difference in the lives of countless families. Our collective efforts would enable us to help more families stay in their homes and save low-income households hundreds of thousands of dollars in generational wealth. Together, we can make a meaningful and lasting impact on the communities we serve.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Our organization was established in September 2022, and despite being a relatively young agency, we are making strides in our mission. To date, we have successfully assisted three individuals or families in maintaining their homes. Notably, 30% of these cases involved multi-generational households, accommodating three distinct family units under one roof.
Our client base primarily comprises 60% Latinx individuals and 40% African Americans. However, it is important to emphasize that we are committed to providing support to all individuals in need, regardless of their background or ethnicity. Our inclusive approach underscores our dedication to ensuring housing stability for everyone.

Housing Is Your Right Inc
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
