Earlier this summer, Operation HOPE, in partnership with RBC Bank, hosted an impactful Housing Expo at The Gathering Spot in Atlanta. This annual event, designed to empower future homeowners, continues to be a cornerstone of our mission to provide critical financial education and support to individuals, no matter where they are in their homeownership journey.
With vendors such as the Atlanta Housing Authority, Invest Atlanta, Empire Board of Realtors, Get It Done Home Inspections, Dream Home Inspections, State Farm, and Benita Turner of HomeSmart, attendees had the opportunity to receive comprehensive guidance on the entire homebuying process. From securing down payment assistance to understanding the importance of property inspections and insuring their investment, the Expo offered something for everyone.
At Operation HOPE, we recognize that homeownership is one of the most important steps toward building generational wealth. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on the role of our homeownership-focused financial wellbeing coaches and HUD-certified Housing Counselors. These experts provide personalized support, ensuring that every aspiring homeowner is equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed decisions.
But the Expo wasn’t just about education—it was also about engagement and comfort with what can feel like a monumental pursuit. Fun activities like prize drawings and a client Q&A session created an environment where learning felt accessible and interactive. The energy in the room was palpable, and the feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive, with attendees praising the event for its practical insights and resources.
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to RBC Bank for their continued partnership and commitment to supporting our mission. Together, we’re empowering individuals to take charge of their financial futures and achieve the dream of homeownership.
As we look forward, we invite our supporters, partners, and community to join us in this mission. Together, we can make homeownership a reality for even more families.
