🏡✨ A home is more than a place to live—it’s a place to create, dream, and make your own.

Congratulations to Tyler Compton, a multimedia designer at UCLA, on purchasing his new condo in Sawtelle with support from NHS’ Greenline Home Program!

For Tyler, homeownership means the freedom to personalize his space, paint the walls, and bring his creative vision to life. As he shared, he’s excited to have the ability to explore and make his new home truly his own.

Every homeowner’s story is unique, but they all start with taking the first step.

From Unhoused to EMS Professional: A Story of Resilience and Opportunity

When DeVontre moved from Texas to California, he came with a dream of becoming a firefighter. Shortly after arriving, he faced unexpected challenges, including housing instability, but he refused to give up on his future.

Through support from community partners and the NHS Compton EMS Corps Program, DeVontre found the opportunity he needed to move forward. He successfully completed the program, began working as an EMT, and recently earned acceptance into the California Firefighter Joint Apprenticeship Committee (Cal-JAC) Paramedic Program.

His journey reflects the power of perseverance, faith, discipline, and access to opportunity.

At NHS, we believe talent exists everywhere—opportunity should too.

Congratulations, DeVontre. Your story inspires us all, and we look forward to watching your continued success in EMS and the fire service.

🚨 Applications are now open for Cohort 3 of the NHS Compton EMS Program.

🏡 From Renting to Building Equity.

A few years ago, Vermytyya Lopez made a decision that would change her family’s future. Tired of paying rent and ready to invest in something of her own, she began her homeownership journey with NHS.

Through our HOPE Homebuyer Orientation and guidance from our HUD-certified counselors, Vermytyya gained the knowledge and confidence needed to navigate the homebuying process—from budgeting and applications to understanding what to look for in a home.

Today, she is celebrating the purchase of her new home in Lancaster through NHS’ Greenline Home Program.

More than anything, she’s excited to have a place where her seven children and growing family can gather, create memories, and build a lasting legacy.

Your path to homeownership can start with a single step. NHS is here to help.

With support from NHS’ Greenline Home Program, along with our HOPE Homebuyer Orientation and FasTrak Homeownership Workshop, they were able to navigate the homebuying process with confidence.

What stood out most to them?

“They know our community, based on our backgrounds. Everyone was helpful, welcoming, and inclusive.”

Stories like this remind us why community-centered housing counseling matters. Homeownership isn’t just about buying a home—it’s about building a legacy.
