The team at Housing Nonprofit knows that your home may be the most important investment you’ll ever make. To make your home as efficient, affordable, and comfortable as possible, we’ll provide you with information on reducing bills, renting, down payment assistance, refinancing, and more.

But we do not stop at providing information, we encourage our readers to take action on several important issues to keep housing affordable across our country. Within several articles you’ll find opportunities to add your voice to petitions that we then direct to your local member of congress. We encourage you to join our fight to keep rents affordable and boost down payment assistance programs towards home ownership.

Genevieve Hayes – Contributor

With over a decade of experience in the real estate field, Genevieve brings tons of insight to the table with her tips for HNP readers. Combine that with her educational background that includes a Bachelor’s in Economics and a Master’s in Commercial Banking, and it’s no wonder why we added Genevieve to our team.

After selling more houses than she could count, Genevieve decided to retire and spend the rest of her days on a ranch in Texas. When she’s away from her keyboard and taking a break from dishing home-related advice, you can find her riding horses or playing with her handful of dogs.
