When you're choosing a mortgage lender, you're making one of the largest financial decisions of your life. Most borrowers compare rates, loan options, and service. Those are all important aspects of choosing your mortgage lender. But there's another question worth asking: What impact does my mortgage have beyond my own home purchase? 

As a father of three, homeownership was about more than just buying a house, it was about creating stability and putting down roots in the community he loved. From the beginning, it was important for Demetrius to purchase a home in Northeast Portland, where he and his family felt connected.  

For more than 35 years, Portland Housing Center has helped individuals and families navigate the path to homeownership through education, counseling, and financial resources.

Today, we're excited to share the next chapter of that work: Portland Housing Center is now Arrive.
