Blueprints Newsletter Spring 2026


This issue’s feature story follows Brenda’s journey to homeownership and the peace she found along the way. After years of hard work, sacrifice, prayer, and perseverance, Brenda was able to purchase a home through ICCF’s Homeownership Program and the opportunity created by Building with Faith at The Seymour. Her story is about more than reaching a housing milestone. It is about creating stability for her daughter, finding a sense of belonging in a new neighborhood, and discovering the peace that can come with having a place to truly call home.

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