Blueprints Newsletter Winter 2026


In this issue of Blueprints, meet Yvonne Jones, who repeatedly faced housing discrimination and dead ends until ICCF’s housing counseling helped her navigate the process, connect with trusted partners, and finally buy a home of her own. Now a first-generation homeowner, Yvonne is experiencing real stability, building equity, and even helping her daughter take steps toward homeownership too. All while giving God the glory for bringing it all together.

Read Yvonne’s story and more encouraging glimpses of what’s possible in our latest Blueprints.
