Elizabeth Brown faced five years of housing troubles, homelessness and other barriers. Brown, 51, always wanted to be a homeowner but said it just hadn’t happened for her. Just a few years ago, Brown was choosing between feeding her children and paying her rent. She said when it came to the process of buying a home, it was that same community that supported her. “But there is so much more I want to do.”Brown said homeownership is possible for anyone who wants to achieve it, so long as communities care.
