The Fleetwood is owned by the Low Income Housing Institute . This program aims to transition working households from rental assistance to financial independence. As the tenants income increases, a portion of the tenants share of the rent is deposited in an escrow account. After successful completion of the five-year program contract, the participant is entitled to withdraw all of the funds in the escrow account. Many families have used these funds as a down-payment to purchase a house.
Counselors work with participants to create an action plan with self-sufficiency goals.
