How We Use Profits to Pay It Forward

Giving is part of the mission. Every home we buy contributes to something bigger:

  • We give 10% of our gross profits to nonprofits doing meaningful work.
  • Our long-term goal is to launch The Furlough Foundation, a nonprofit that provides free vacations to pastors, missionaries, and low-income service workers - a getaway they might never otherwise afford.

When you sell to People First House Buyers, you’re not just getting a solution. You’re helping others too.

We're here to serve. Not just in words, but in action. If you're saying "I need to sell my house," we’ll work with you to find the right path forward.
