VineBrook Homes announced yesterday it is expanding its partnership with Operation HOPE to include a five-year, $1 millioncommitment to provide its residents across the U.S. with resources and programs to help achieve financial freedom. The announcement took place during the 9th Annual HOPE Global Forums, the largest gathering in the world on behalf of empowering underserved communities. VineBrook launched its partnership with Operation HOPE in November 2021. Through this partnership, VineBrook provides its residents with no-cost access to Operation HOPE’s award-winning virtual workshops, learning sessions, and certified one-on-one financial coaching to help improve their FICO score, manage their budget and debts, grow long-term savings, and pursue wealth creation. This commitment will expand the dedicated Operation HOPE resources needed to help increase participation in the available programs for VineBrook residents.

“Our partnership with VineBrook Homes, like our other partners in the single family rental industry, has empowered residents across the U.S. with the knowledge and tools they need to strengthen their financial foundation – and their future,” said John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Operation HOPE. “Expanding this partnership will provide additional coaches so that residents can deepen their engagement with the resources and curriculum that, in turn, can help them build generational wealth.”

“When I first met John and learned about Operation HOPE, I was inspired and wanted to incorporate it into the offering we provide VineBrook residents,” said Dana Sprong, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of VineBrook Homes. “I’ve been impressed by the successful results we have achieved together, see tremendous potential to assist even more people going forward, and am thrilled to announce this expanded partnership.”

VineBrook’s partnership with Operation HOPE seeks to help residents attain financial wellbeing by providing access to the tools they need to achieve their financial goals, whether that means improving their credit, starting a business, saving for retirement, or becoming homeowners. Since the partnership’s launch, Operation HOPE has worked with more than 200 VineBrook residents, resulting in all participants improving their credit scores, increasing their savings and reducing household debt by nearly $500 per month.

“Resident satisfaction and support are top priorities at VineBrook, and the programs we offer in partnership with Operation HOPE are consistently among the most popular benefits we provide,” said Ryan McGarry, Chief Operating Officer of VineBrook Homes. “VineBrook’s homes for lease are some of the most affordable homes within our markets, are well-within GSE guidelines for affordability, and align with resident budgets as one of their single largest expenses.  Our partnership with the purpose-driven Operation HOPE team and their commitment to financial literacy is a powerful combination that will further aid our communities in achieving their diverse financial goals.”
