About
Our Mission
Building a strong community of women by providing assistance in the areas of financial literacy, rental assistance for housing, and emergency funds due to sudden hardship. In most communities, affordable housing (or the potential to create it) already exists. Our mission is to identify cities and neighborhoods in need, where multifamily rental homes are at risk of being lost from the pool of affordable housing, or there was never enough affordable housing to begin with. By buying and upgrading existing properties, or developing new ones, we will supply long-term affordable housing opportunities to the communities that need it the most.
Our Vision
Building a community of strong women to support and mentor one another by being mentors and being mentored. The focus is inspiring and coaching women to better their financial situation by providing education in Real estate Investing, Entrepreneurship, and encourage Philanthropy. At We Win Foundation our vision is to handle every aspect of the affordable housing process, from project financing and housing development to community outreach and long-term resident services. Our goal is to provide a custom approach to affordable housing which allows us to help more people and more communities while ensuring that each project is completed to our highest standards.
