A Message from our Board Chair

As Yellow Springs Home, Inc. leans toward a quarter century in the business of creating permanently affordable housing, our mandate is more important than ever. In a time of global pandemic, the definition of “home” has evolved to include critical new functions like quarantine, social distancing, homeschool, and remote work. More than ever, home is our lifeline and our core belief that everyone has the right to housing stability is paramount. We believe we are all walking each other home. 

More people now live in Home, Inc. homes than ever before. 2019 saw the completion and lease-up of our first multifamily rental housing project: Forest Village Homes - the first in the Village in decades. As a result, six new households can now call Yellow Springs “home.” The Glen Cottages Pocket Neighborhood was fully funded in 2019, thanks in part to a successful capital campaign that received contributions from 39 community partners. Construction on this new, 12-unit development  is now underway and will be our largest project yet. The need is clear and the demand for quality, affordable housing is strong, with our rental interest list growing to more than 200 households in 2019. At the same time, our client programs continue to grow, serving 125 households in 2019 through homebuyer and financial coaching, foreclosure prevention, post-purchase support, low-interest refinance and mortgage packaging, rental intakes, and more. 

Your involvement and support as members, funding partners, donors, clients, volunteers, and stakeholders is what makes these achievements possible. In short, you - the community - are the backbone of our community land trust. 

When Emily Dickinson contemplated possibility, she employed the metaphor of a house:

I dwell in Possibility –

A fairer House than Prose –

More numerous of Windows –

Superior – for Doors – 

Of Chambers as the Cedars –

Impregnable of eye –

And for an everlasting Roof

The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –

For Occupation – This –

The spreading wide my narrow Hands

To gather Paradise –

Picture, as I know you’ve done before, your ideal house.  It’s easy enough to plan the basic layout and dimensions; it isn’t difficult to envision the myriad details that make the structure comfortable and perfect. But, without you in residence, it’s only a building, however fine. Dickinson reminds us that a house becomes a home when we fill it with our lives, our good works, and the community in which we live together. 
Thank you for your ongoing support, 

Christopher Bongorno, Board Chair              
​Emily Seibel, Executive Director
