WHAT PEOPLE SAY
VT - Marion
“Because of Olive Hill, I went from nearly losing my home to keeping my home.
Supporting this Gala means supporting families like mine.”
RM - Morganton
"Olive Hill gave me the tools to turn my vision into a real business — from planning and financing to building a future." Today, our children have their own rooms, a yard to play in, and we have the stability we never thought was within reach. Olive Hill didn’t just guide us through the process — they gave us a foundation for a better future."
MP - Hickory
"Taking Olive Hill’s Homebuyer Education class changed everything for our family. We went from living in public housing with five of us sharing two bedrooms to buying our first home.
The counseling sessions gave us the confidence to budget and prepare, and Olive Hill helped us access CPLP funds that made homeownership possible.
