Adrián Alcalá
First-Time Homebuyer
National City, 2004 |
Adrián moved to San Diego two years ago with the dream of purchasing his first home. His wife stayed behind and he rented a small bedroom in East San Diego. Through hard work and perseverance, they are back together and first-time homeowners.
“This is an opportunity we wouldn’t have had without the help of Community HousingWorks. My wife and I are eternally grateful to be together again and in our first home.” |

The Jiménez Family
Fallbrook View Resident
Fallbrook, 2004 |
The Jiménez Family moved into Fallbrook View from substandard housing that was causing the illness of their 3 year-old daughter. Now they are in a safer neighborhood and the Learning Communities program has helped their eldest daughter improve her math scores.
“We used to feel squeezed, barely making it every month because rent was so high. Last month we bought a computer that our daughters use every day for their schoolwork.” |
