Wider Path Home Foundation
Wider Path Home Foundation is grounded in responding to America's history of restricting access to safe, quality, and affordable land, housing, and other essential sustainable resources for African Americans and those facing a similar plight. Because of this history, our mission is to bring housing industry leaders together to support affordable housing through education, community development, and down payment assistance. We network with the housing industry and other industry partners to fill in needed supports for local community development that advance housing equity, affordability, and stability.
