The HOME Foundation
History
Was formed in 1988. Originally, it was the fundraising arm of Housing Transitions, then called Temporary Housing Inc. In 1998, THF became a Community Housing Development Organization with the State College Borough as its Primary Jurisdiction. The organization began offering First Time Homebuyer (FTHB) Education and Budget Counseling and buying, rehabilitating and then selling homes to FTHB. Since 1998, THF has bought, rehabbed, and sold 32 homes to FTHB. In addition, THF has built a small portfolio rental units offered at a reduced rate to income qualified individuals and families in the State College Borough.
