“For many years KeyBank has been an avid champion of Proud Ground's proven model, and we are delighted to dramatically accelerate our support with this new grant [for the Opening Doors campaign]. Our mission is to help our communities thrive, and nowhere is that more important than in underserved populations who have historically lacked access to the opportunity to build wealth through homeownership.”

Our Homeownership Model
Proud Ground leverages investments from the private and public sector to remove barriers to homeownership and launch permanently affordable properties.
Example: A $350,000 Single-Family Unit
$25,000 private investment (community supporters/donors)
+ $75,000 leveraged public investment (subsidies)
Reduces the homeowner loan to $250,000
Families build assets and the property taxes remain permanently affordable.
Proud Ground’s community land trust model puts home ownership within reach for many working families compared to a traditional mortgage or continuing to rent. Plus, homeowners build equity, creating generational wealth. See the Affordability Comparison illustration (right).
Each $25,000 raised creates a new dedicated affordable property
