Across Price Hill, institutional investors have snapped up hundreds of homes, driving up prices and leaving few affordable options for families striving for stability. Many hardworking families—particularly families of color—remain locked out of homeownership, and with it, the opportunity to build generational wealth.
Spotlight: The Cabrera Family
Sergio and Dorma Cabrera and their two sons were renting in West Price Hill when they joined the Homesteading program. Their income was just 41% of the area median—but they were ready to take the leap into ownership. Even better? Their new home is right next to close friends. After personalizing the home with fresh paint and new carpet, they moved into 1037 Gilsey—becoming first-time homeowners and part of a growing network of families building wealth through Homesteading.
With a 2023 Impact 100 grant, Price Hill Will expanded its Homesteading Program—an innovative, equity-building initiative that renovates vacant homes and sells them to income-eligible families through supported land contracts. The funds were used to purchase and fully renovate a 1923 three-bedroom house at 1037 Gilsey Avenue and provide critical staffing support to manage the process.
The result: one more family on the path to homeownership—and one more house transformed from a neglected asset into a thriving home.
