Renter Equity Program

At Cornerstone, we focus on making equity, a key part of financial health and stability, accessible and attainable for low-income households.

Members can earn…


Housing Equity

by paying rent on time.

Community Equity

by attending community meetings, volunteering, and participating in events such as block clean-ups, garden club, and family nights.

Personal Equity

by working one-on-one with our Family Coach to set community building and personal development goals.

Financial Equity

by working one-on-one with our Financial Coach to set financial goals and enroll in financial literacy classes.

Health and Wellness Equity

by engaging in healthy activities and attending healthcare appointments.

Social Networking Equity

by assisting a fellow member with an identified need.

Program Equity

by completing quarterly and annual self-sufficiency assessments.

Members can earn up to $155 monthly or $2,000 annually, and are fully vested after three years, which means they can withdraw equity to purchase a home or vehicle, pay off or reduce debt, pursue education, address other needs, or continue saving.
