Due to that stability, Lisa graduated from PSU in 2009 and today she is employed with PCRI. “As a Resident Services Coordi nator I’m assisting residents, and part of assisting residents is also assisting myself to become more self-sufficient so that I can be an example,” Williams said. “I set a goal to own a home within two to three years.” Today, thanks to Proud Ground, PCRI, the Portland Housing Bureau, Community Frameworks’ Self Help Homeownership Opportunity Pro gram, and the African American Alliance for Homeownership, she met her goal. “Lisa really is an example to other families out there who may think homeownership is out of reach,” says Proud Ground Executive Di rector Jesse Beason. “The same re sources that helped Lisa are avail able to anyone who wants to achieve the dream of homeownership.” For more information, visit Proud Ground at proudground.org, PCRI at pcrihome.org, and the African- A m erican A llia n c e for Homeownership at aaah.org.
