Frontier’s Facebook Contest Results
February 28th, 2013This past month, Frontier conducted a contest on Facebook to gain valuable insight from our current and potential customers. We asked people, “What motivated you to purchase your first home?” We received a wide variety of responses which included reasons such as the desire for stability and because they were tired of paying their landlord for something that would never be theirs.
Misty Bruton was our lucky winner of a $50 gift card. She said that family was the main reason that motivated her to purchase her first home. She wanted a safe and secure environment to watch her children learn and grow. Frontier appreciates those who participated and we hope to have more success with future contests.
Welcome Back Home Funding Used to Help Family
February 28th, 2013As the one year anniversary of the tragic West Liberty tornado approaches, Frontier Housing reflects on the “Welcome Back Home” fund. This fund was created one year ago to provide support to tornado victims who needed assistance transitioning back into their homes. To date, Frontier has used this fund to help a family pay their first year’s home insurance as they moved back into their new house. We are currently working with two other families who have needs associated with the tornado.
Eye on the Prize
February 27th, 2013Kayla Brooks may have been told that home ownership was out of reach, but the hard-working health department clerk and single mother beat the odds with help from Frontier Housing. She found an alternative to the high rent and utility payment hustle and now spends less on a home of her own than she did on her previous property. Situated on the picturesque Sugarloaf Mountain road, Kayla knows, “It’s going to be here when I need it, regardless.”
Truly a one-stop-shop, Frontier Housing guided Kayla from the get-go with affordable online homeownership courses. A combination of personal tenacity and help from Frontier propelled her from public housing to a home of her own.
“Without Frontier I wouldn’t have this,” she says. But Frontier staff knows that most of the credit is due to the homeowner. Kayla sacrificed vacations, luxuries, and comforts for two years to improve her creditworthiness. Now she and her five-year-old daughter, Alanah, feel comfortable here with confidence in their priceless investment.
