June is National Homeownership Month — and for Tamara, it’s the moment everything changed.

Most people think you need perfect credit or huge savings to buy a home. That’s not true.

At BNT, we help turn uncertainty into a plan.

For nearly 40 years, we’ve helped 4,250+ local families right here in Bridgeport become homeowners through:

1-on-1 counseling

Homebuyer education

Credit & budget help

Down payment guidance

The first step is free.

🏠 Do You Know Your Fair Housing Rights?

Every person deserves a safe, stable place to call home — and the law is on your side.

Under the Fair Housing Act, it is illegal to discriminate in the sale, rental, or financing of housing based on:

✅ Race or Color
✅ National Origin
✅ Religion
✅ S*x
✅ Disability
✅ Familial Status

Discrimination can look like being told a unit is unavailable when it isn't, being steered toward or away from certain neighborhoods, or being denied reasonable accommodations for a disability.

If you believe your rights have been violated, you have options:
📞 Contact HUD: 1-800-669-9777
🌐 File a complaint at hud.gov/fairhousing
📍 Or reach out to us — we're here to help.

At Building Neighborhoods Together, we believe strong communities are built on fairness, dignity, and opportunity for all.

💬 Have questions about your housing rights? Drop them in the comments or send us a message.
