HOTEL INC Introduces Framework Homeownership Education Platform to Bowling Green

Mar 11 2024

Homeownership is a crucial step towards creating possibilities, long-term security, and greater financial independence. At Framework, we believe in partnering with organizations to provide a digital homeownership platform that widens access and closes knowledge gaps about the homebuying and homeownership journey. This results in more confident homebuyers, successful homeowners, and stronger communities.

We are delighted to announce that access to Framework is expanding to Bowling Green, Kentucky through our partnership with HOTEL INC, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating, educating, and empowering their community to ensure all people have security through safe, affordable housing.  

  • “The Framework platform and our housing counseling allows a potential first-time homeowner to be better informed as they go through the process and hopefully this will make the homebuying experience less stressful.”

The cornerstone of HOTEL INC’s services relies on providing its community with rich, high-quality education. Their Holistic Partnership service provides educational opportunities spanning topics like financial management, legal obstacles, relational stress, and food security. With the adoption of Framework, HOTEL INC, is expanding its offering to include sustained, high-quality homeownership resources including the Framework Homebuyer Education Course, which meets all HUD and Housing Counseling Program requirements for education and exceeds the National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling.

  • “When we reset our company’s vision to drive a national network of partners educating, supporting, and creating 10 million first-time and first-generation homebuyers over the next 10 years, organizations like HOTEL INC is who we had in mind.”

“We firmly believe that our shared focus on affordable housing and homeownership – as Bowling Green’s homeownership rate is below the national average – will lead to increased health, wealth, and ultimately, a more stable community.  Thank you to the HOTEL INC team for trusting us as your partner, and we look forward to supporting you and the Bowling Green community for many years to come!” shares Omar.

Framework’s human-centered design approach ensures that its platform is accessible to all. The Framework Homebuyer Education Course is transadapted to Spanish, making it possible for Spanish-speaking homebuyers to access the course content. Additionally, the homebuyer education course features read-aloud lesson content across each lesson to accommodate user needs and preferences.

Thanks to financial investments from community partners like First Southern National Bank and First Bank, HOTEL INC can offer these services free of charge to its community. Framework’s flexible implementation models enable HOTEL INC to deliver the Framework Homebuyer Education Course at no cost to learners, providing greater financial independence and increased pathways to homeownership. This partnership is a significant step towards addressing the affordable housing crisis in the community, and we’re excited to see how it will positively impact the lives of those involved.
