Where Homeownership Starts and Grows

We believe that homeownership is a journey that creates possibility, long-term security, and greater financial independence. That’s why our homeownership education platform is designed to deliver reliable information, meaningful data, and lasting support. What comes out is all the better: more impactful partners, more successful homeowners, and stronger communities for generations to come.

Together, we’re shaping a future where more people can start—and grow—on their homeownership journey.

  • Our Why

    “We started Framework with the belief that homebuyers who educate themselves about the process are more successful homeowners in the long run.”

Our Story

Framework was founded in 2012 by two nonprofit leaders in homeownership – Housing Partnership Network and Minnesota Homeownership Center – both HUD-approved housing counseling intermediaries.

In 2012 we observed that while both the market and the homebuyers within it had changed, the way people approached buying (and owning) a home had not. Plus, the research was clear: informed homebuyers are more likely to be confident, successful homeowners.

And so, we dedicated ourselves to making smart homeownership the new norm nationwide by leveraging technology to reach a new generation of homebuyers and homeowners. We’re doing this with comprehensive curricula, flexible technology, dedication to our customers, and innovative relationships with lenders, brokers, and a network of nonprofit partners.

To date, we’ve helped over 1.5M+ homebuyers purchase their first homes.
