💛After years of hoping and waiting, Julia and her two children moved into their CHT townhome last fall. Today, it’s filled with family gatherings, walks to the grocery store, pets settling in, and the comfort of knowing they’re truly home.
Julia’s path to homeownership wasn’t easy, but with perseverance and support from CHT, what once felt out of reach became possible.
Read Julia’s inspiring story of stability, belonging, and new beginnings. 🏡✨

You could own one of these for 50% less than market rate! CHT will be offering condos in this building and upcoming South Creek buildings for purchase well below market rate. See if you qualify and learn more about our program here! https://communityhometrust.org/qualifications/

The Hawthorn at South Creek — May progress update, and you can already see the bones of home taking shape from above 🏗️

Those concrete towers going up first?

That’s the structural core of the building, where elevators and stairwells will eventually rise to carry residents up to bright, beautifully designed condominiums ranging from studios to 3-bedroom penthouses.

With floorplans from 522 to 2,234 sq. ft., there’s a layout for every chapter of life.

First deliveries early 2027!
