Stable Homes. Strong Schools. Generational Wealth.
HousED for Good™ is Lift Orlando’s integrated housing and education initiative, ensuring families in 32805 have both the stability of homeownership and the opportunity to thrive.
HousED for Good™ is Lift Orlando’s unified housing and education initiative grounded in a simple but powerful belief: families thrive when they have both a stable home and access to meaningful educational opportunity.
This initiative formalizes and strengthens work Lift Orlando and its partners have been doing for more than a decade in Orlando’s 32805 ZIP code, pairing safe, affordable housing with financial education, workforce training, and homeownership preparation to build generational wealth.
Why HousED for Good
In 32805, decades of disinvestment have created persistent barriers to economic mobility:
A 30% homeownership rate, well below national averages
Median household income significantly below the county average
Increasing acquisition of single-family homes by institutional and absentee investors
Homes converted into poorly maintained, code-violating rental properties
A widening Black–White homeownership gap
Families cannot fully benefit from upskilling and financial education programs if they are forced to move frequently. Children cannot thrive academically when they change schools year after year.
Housing stability is the foundation for educational success, workforce growth, and long-term wealth creation. HousED for Good addresses both, together.
“Educational progress cannot take root without housing stability.”
