The average family enters Homestretch with over $5,000 in debt, pays it off within a year, and graduates later with over $5,000 in savings, a $10,000+ turnaround driven by dedicating 10% of gross income to a combined savings/debt-reduction account.
Homestretch is committed to lasting outcomes, not just program completion. Success means a family increases income, gains skills or education, reduces debt, builds savings, and secures affordable housing, but what matters most is whether that stability holds after graduation. Homestretch is unique in its ability to track graduates long-term.
Over the past decade, Homestretch has partnered three times with George Mason and George Washington Universities on outcome studies. Each found that at least 88% of graduates remained safely housed and employed years later.
A study conducted in 2022 in partnership with Mitre Corporation and Ecosystems, covers outcomes two to seven years post-graduation. It found that 88% of graduates maintained stable housing, with only 3% returning to homelessness. Additionally, 87% remained employed, 78% maintained or increased their income, 69% pursued further education, and 64% saw continued improvement in their credit scores, evidence that the financial discipline built at Homestretch keeps paying off.
