Changing lives one home at a time. First Story exists to strengthen communities and break the cycle of poverty through homeownership opportunities.
First Story is confronting a housing crisis that has made affordable homeownership nearly impossible for many families in the Northwest. We are committed to opening doors for diverse families and transforming lives through homeownership. In partnership with our founder and building partner, Hayden Homes, we bridge the gap for under-resourced families by providing a 30-year, 0% interest, 0-down loan on a move-in ready Hayden Home to qualified families.
🎉 We promised a surprise, and here it is!
This morning, we celebrated a Spokane Valley family as they received the keys to their new Hayden Home. To make the day even more special, we surprised them with this beautiful patio set from Home Staging Works! 🏡✨
A new home is about so much more than walls and a roof. It's a place to gather, celebrate milestones, build traditions, and create lasting memories. We hope this outdoor space will be the setting for many special moments in the years ahead.
This milestone was made possible by an incredible community of partners, supporters, and volunteers. A heartfelt thank you to Hayden Homes, Home Staging Works, and our partners throughout the Inland Northwest who came together to help make homeownership a reality for this family.
Together, we're building stronger communities, one home at a time.

🏡✨ Tomorrow is the big day!
We're putting the finishing touches on a very special home dedication in Spokane Valley and can't wait to celebrate alongside our homeowner, partners, and community members.
We also have a few surprises in store! 👀 A special delivery arrived today from Home Staging Works, and we're excited to see how everything comes together. Trust us, you'll want to tune in tomorrow for the reveal.
Every home dedication is a reminder of what happens when a community comes together to create opportunity, stability, and a place to call home. ❤️
Stay tuned!
This week, we gathered in Prosser, WA to celebrate a truly special milestone: a couple receiving the keys to their first home. ❤️🏡
Moments like these are a powerful reminder of the impact that homeownership can have. A home is more than shelter. It's a place to build a future, create lasting memories, and put down roots in a community that supports and believes in you.
We are grateful to Hayden Homes, the City of Prosser, and everyone who helped make this dream possible. Their support and partnership continue to create life-changing opportunities for hardworking individuals and families throughout the communities we serve.
Congratulations to this wonderful couple as they begin an exciting new chapter. We were honored to celebrate alongside them and look forward to all the memories they will create in their new home.

The Hayden Homes Central Oregon Charity Championship is always a great reminder of the power of community. ⛳️
We loved hosting the Subaru of Bend Putt for Charity competition and spending the day alongside golfers playing in support of the nonprofits they care about most. It was a day filled with purpose, partnership, and plenty of fun on the course.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make a difference for local organizations across Central Oregon! 💚
