Every family that has earned a new house—nearly 1,100 of them now—have their own stories that mean a lot to them. The same could be said of every partner like you who has been on a build trip, or participated in Bikes Fight Poverty, or given up a birthday, or attended the Gala. We all have stories that mean a lot to us.

Once 1MISSION touches your life, we hope your life is transformed. Because stories like these are meant to transform us. Relationships with people who are different from us are meant to transform us.

For nearly 15 years, thanks to your faithful partnership, 1MISSION has been doing the long, slow, steady—and tremendously rewarding—work of building community, one house at a time.

And as we’re quick to point out, housing is just one part of that life-changing work. Community is really at the heart of everything we do. And community is made by people.

I like to say that at 1MISSION we don’t just build houses—we build dreams.

I’ve been thinking about that recently, as we have just celebrated the grand opening of the “Building Dreams” community center and soup kitchen for children here in the community of Miguel Alemán in Mexico.

This project meets the need for a safe place where children, youth, and families can come to learn, find purpose, and dream. It is a place that truly inspires. Day to day, the center will serve as a meeting place for a whole range of community development workshops, from literacy classes to baking projects, and so much more. Eventually, we hope to offer computer classes too, using technology as a tool for development.

If you're thinking about buying or selling a home, it's important to understand the market cycle. Real estate markets go through cycles of growth, stability, decline, and recovery.
