How It Works
Our three-step process meets each family where they are and builds a clear, supported path toward housing stability.
01
Assess Needs
Each family completes intake and a financial snapshot to identify immediate housing pressures, financial barriers, and priority goals.
02
Build a Stability Plan
Staff and participants establish practical, measurable goals tied to housing retention, budgeting, savings, debt reduction, or income strengthening.
03
Deliver Coaching & Follow-Through
Families receive targeted coaching, financial education, and progress monitoring to support stronger decision-making and long-term stability.
Take the First Step
Start Building Your Path to HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
You don’t have to wait until everything is perfect to begin. Here are concrete actions you can take right now to start cleaning up your credit and building the life that leads to homeownership.
Check Your Credit Report
Request your free credit reports from all three bureaus at AnnualCreditReport.com. Know where you stand before you begin.
Dispute Errors
Review each report carefully. Inaccurate accounts, incorrect balances, or outdated information can be disputed directly with the bureaus.
Build a Savings Habit
Even a small consistent deposit each month begins to build a financial cushion and demonstrates the discipline lenders want to see.
Work With a Coach
Our coaches can help you turn these steps into a personalized plan – and walk alongside you every step of the way toward your first home.
Donate Property & Create Lasting Impact
Are you a homeowner or landowner looking to make a meaningful difference? The Rhodes Family HOME FOR CHRISTMAS Foundation accepts property donations regardless of condition, giving you the opportunity to support families on the path to homeownership while potentially taking advantage of capital gains tax relief.
Any Property, Any Condition
We accept property donations regardless of the property’s current condition. Whether the home needs repair or is move-in ready, your donation can help a family build a lasting legacy.
Funding generated through property donations supports long-term growth and housing stability for families who never imagined homeownership could be within reach.
We Help Guide the Process
We can help guide you through the donation process and assist in obtaining the paperwork needed to file. We are not tax attorneys, but we can help connect you with the right resources – or you may work directly through your own tax attorney.
Reach out to our team to begin a conversation about how your property donation can change lives and open doors for families working toward stability.
