About NHSIE

Mission

NHSIE is dedicated to creating homeownership opportunities, bridging the housing affordability gap, and building sustainable communities of choice—one person, one home, and one neighborhood at a time.

About

NHSIE was founded in 1981 by Leonard Davenport, Luis Navarrete, and Jack Hill, three World War II veterans who wanted to make homeownership available to underserved populations in San Bernardino. NHSIE has grown tremendously since its humble beginnings, yet its vision and passion for community development have remained true to its origins. NHSIE is dedicated to creating homeownership opportunities, bridging the housing affordability gap, and building sustainable communities of choice – one person, one home, and one neighborhood at a time.

Most importantly, NHSIE is dedicated to making the dream of homeownership a reality for residents and recognizes that homeownership promotes community stability, increases personal wealth, breaks the cycle of poverty within families, leads to enhanced civic involvement, and improves academic outcomes for children of homeowners – all of which contribute to our goal of supporting sustainable communities and improving resident quality of life.
