New Story
New Story transforms lives by making land and home ownership possible for underserved families in Latin America. Rather than relying on traditional charity and subsidies that can only address 20% of the global housing need, the organization uses market forces to create sustainable, scalable solutions to the housing crisis. By starting with land—the foundation of all housing—New Story unlocks a pathway to generational wealth building that was previously out of reach for vulnerable families.
New Story's three-step approach creates lasting change by financing and developing land with essential infrastructure, enabling land ownership through affordable 18-24 month payment plans that build credit and establish collateral, and unlocking home financing so families can access their first major loans to build the homes they want and need.
This market-based model compresses the traditional 10-year path to land ownership down to just 2 years. Since 2014, New Story has impacted over 12,000 lives across Mexico, El Salvador, Haiti, and Bolivia, proving that when families are treated as customers rather than charity recipients, extraordinary transformation becomes possible. Families build generational wealth, gain security from eviction, and create stronger communities.
