Attainable Homeownership

pattern
LadderUp Housing is a company that removes barriers to ownership for working people across the Midwest.

What prevents homeownership?

Barriers to homeownership include upfront capital for renovations, low or absent credit score, and lack of familiarity with the homebuying process. After conducting over 40 industry expert interviews, we learned the solutions for each of these exist! They’re just isolated and difficult to put together.
