“Special thank you to Tavia and Stephanie and to Origin for your support in the process of buying my first home. The $1,000 gift grant funds helped with closing on my house and I’m so thankful for that. I also enjoyed the Homebuying Workshop online as well. It was very educational and informative. Once again thank for all the help.”

“I just want to express our HEARTS are so full of Gratitude for you. When I contacted Origin on Monday to enroll my daughter in the Financial Coaching, we virtually met an Angel. You made the both of us feel so comfortable and at peace. . For that we are both thankful & grateful for your expertise. Thanks so much providing the both of us with such a seamless experience. You all feel just like you’re our family now.”

"Ms. A, 56 years old, has had to persevere through many health issues, some caused by previous housing and life setbacks like a fire at a neighboring apartment that destroyed her apartment as well. Thanks to programs like Lease on Life providing rental assistance and case management Ms. A has had the support she needed to focus on her health and thrive in her day-to-day life."

"A family with 2 young children ran into circumstances beyond their control and lost their housing. When they were referred to Origin, they were trying to make do living in tent while their children went to live with out-of-town relatives. Thanks to the Rapid Rehousing program they were able to regain housing, bring their children home, retain their employment (one parent even got a promotion they had been working towards) and graduate from Origin’s programs to be self-sufficient and thriving"

“I’ve gained a lot of hope in knowing that I can crawl out from under the mountain of debt that I amassed over several years. This has opened up opportunities I would have not otherwise had and given me a new lease on life and a new sense of freedom, not only financially, but with my career.”

“I learned to monitor my household budgeting verses all income and began notice positive changes immediately. The counselors were very informative, courteous and friendly.”

"I look towards the next 5 years, where we’re creeping towards being debt free, and I feel so much relief. I cannot explain how important the little things are to me, like knowing that we can keep our dogs. I truly want you to know the impact of this program on clients like me. I will be forever grateful for this program.”

“I am going through a lot but whatever I am going through with all the thrones in my side, with all the rocky hills with all the raging storms you are a light in my life, calm in times of storm. Thank you for all and more that you do for me. You are the meaning of # we all are going to get through this together. You have to give credit where credit is do & I give you a lot of credit for making my life so much easier.”

"I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone considering homeownership. If you're willing to take advantage of the resources, ask questions, and apply what you learn, SC ORIGIN provides the knowledge, support, and encouragement needed to make the dream of homeownership a reality."
