WLP’s Reclaiming The Dream Housing Program Reaches a New Milestone

Single-story home with a gray exterior, flat roof, and carport, surrounded by a black metal fence and wooden privacy fencing. The house sits on a grassy lawn with a sidewalk in front and mature trees providing shade.

The program has enabled thirteen new residents to call our beloved neighborhood home. Each home represents more than bricks and mortar—a fresh start, a dream realized, and a renewed sense of community. From young families to longtime residents returning to their roots, the people behind these front doors are part of a growing legacy of resilience and hope.

Yesterday, we proudly celebrated another milestone: selling our fourth home under the program to a first-time homebuyer. This isn’t just any home—it’s a beautifully rehabilitated, energy-efficient property that reflects our unwavering commitment to quality, affordability, sustainability, and long-term livability. This house was crafted with meticulous care and purpose, from updated plumbing, electrical wiring, insulation, and windows to efficient appliances and thoughtful design.

Every step forward with Reclaiming the Dream brings us closer to a stronger, more connected West Lakes. We’re not just restoring homes—we’re strengthening a neighborhood, reigniting pride, and reclaiming the dream of homeownership for families who deserve it most. The program's credit repair component has been a resounding success, helping residents increase their credit scores by 50-75 points (results vary), offering a beacon of hope for a brighter financial future.

Thanks to a grant Congressman Maxwell Frost obtained for us, our next housing chapter will be rolled out over the next few months, hopefully leading to more homeownership opportunities in West Lakes.
