Westside Future Fund celebrated the closing day for new Home on the Westside homeowner Sean Scott. Scott purchased a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the English Avenue neighborhood. This is the third closing WFF has celebrated through its signature program in 2024.

Scott is an Atlanta native and currently works as an IT professional with the Atlanta Falcons.  Given his ties to the community, Scott received $100,000 in down payment assistance from Westside Future Fund and its partners, including Invest Atlanta and Atlanta Housing.

“I’m an Atlanta native and would love to remain one,” said Scott.

Home on the Westside stands as Westside Future Fund’s flagship program, committed to three key service areas to empower residents and foster community stability. These service areas include providing homeownership opportunities for mortgage-ready buyers like Justin, ensuring quality multifamily rentals, and offering property tax assistance through our Anti-Displacement Tax Fund. Through initiatives like these, we strive to create pathways to economic stability and combat displacement in the neighborhoods we serve.

WFF’s mission to advance a compassionate approach to equitable revitalization is not a one-time effort. It’s an ongoing commitment that requires the support of our philanthropic partners. That’s why we’ve launched Our Next Chapter, a capital fundraising campaign to accelerate our ability to create affordable housing for legacy and future residents of the historic Westside. By restoring these storied neighborhoods, we’re weaving them back into the fabric of Atlanta. Join us in Our Next Chapter.
