PCHA opens new Home Ownership Resource Center

Owning a home seems out of reach for so many people, especially in today’s economy. Even with declining home prices, for many in affordable and assisted housing, the dream of owning their own home is just that – a dream.  

Rabon Sanders knows all too well about circumstances getting in his way for the proverbial American Dream.

Self-employed for 23 years, owning an accounting business and then consumer electronics business, Sanders had it all:  family, career, success, health.  And then a rare disease called Post-Polio Syndrome from a sickness he had when he was three years old, caused his body to gradually weaken until he lost his ability to walk.  Not only did he lose his ability to walk, he lost his health, his family, his business and his money.
