Why S.A.F.E.

Why S.A.F.E.?

Why consider becoming a member of S.A.F.E. Housing Inc.? S.A.F.E. Housing Inc. provides our members protection, safety and security. We are working to eradicate homelessness, by preventing it, and eliminating usury which is the main cause of homelessness. By doing our best to keep our members safe from usury, eviction, and foreclosure we do our best to provide protection and keep our members safe and secure.

We provide our members the following:

Eradicating Homelessness:

S.A.F.E. is working on eradicating homelessness, by addressing issues that cause it, before they happen. Most homeless were evicted, or foreclosed on, especially due to usury, unfair rental practices, or unfair lending practices. By eliminating these issues, and making affordable homeownership more readily available, we begin to eliminate the root cause of homelessness.

Providing a Path to Affordable Homeownership:

At S.A.F.E. our primary mission is working on providing every one of our members the ability to get into Affordable Homeownership, we do this by getting each of our members into an affordable homeownership program as soon as there is an opening.

Membership Payments:

As you make your monthly membership payment to S.A.F.E. Housing Inc., each payment is put towards your affordable home, giving each member a fund to use towards their affordable homeownership. (Please note that if any member tenant or homeowner needs assistance of any kind, such as stopping an eviction, needing to move, stopping a foreclosure or anything requiring any type of payment for services, this will come out of the monthly membership first.)

Member Life Improvement:

At S.A.F.E., we work to help our members improve their lives, and achieve their dreams. We believe that our members deserve a helping hand up out of the trenches of renting, predatory lending, and usury and onto a steady life changing platform foundation, so we offer programs and work with our members to get them the stability they need. Including help them work towards homeownership and financial stability.

Housing is a Right, Renting is Not:

We believe every American citizen deserves the right to have a home to live in, and we work with our Members to provide that; however we DO NOT believe in renting, we know that all of our members that rent are literally throwing their hard earned money away to a landlord and other than having a roof over their head, get nothing out of it. That’s why we work with our members one by one to get them into stable housing and out of the trenches of renting. Where they can gain respect, knowledge, and contribute to their community.

Housing is a Right, for Homeowners:

As a homeowner we believe you have the right to be able to afford your home, without usury, or elicit behavior from your lender. Be it high interest rates, a balloon payment, adjustable rate, or making it virtually impossible to pay off your home, we work to get our members that are already purchasing a home out of the trenches of usury, and into affordable homeownership.
