ArtHome: Mission
ArtHome’s mission is to help artists build assets
and equity through financial literacy, homeownership, self-sufficiency and the responsible use of credit.

By partnering with key community organizations
and stakeholders, ArtHome is committed to strengthening the cultural vitality indigenous
to our neighborhoods and growing the resources, not just of artists, but also of our peer community development organizations, our neighborhoods
and our neighbors.

ArtHome looks to activate existing asset building programs and to create new resources to assist artists to create personal solvency through: homeownership, foreclosure prevention, business start-up, personal savings, access to credit and financial literacy.
