2026 Message from Executive Director
As we enter the summer of 2026, we are reminded that this season brings both opportunity and challenge for families and communities across the United States and Puerto Rico.
During these warmer months, we encourage everyone to remain safe and healthy by staying cool in the summer heat, checking on elderly neighbors and loved ones, and preparing their homes and families for hurricane season and other natural disasters that can threaten the stability and habitability of our communities. For many states, summer is also the time to begin preparing homes for the colder months ahead — ensuring heating systems, roofs, insulation, and critical home repairs are addressed before fall and winter weather arrive.
Across the country, housing affordability continues to remain one of the most pressing challenges facing working families. Recent national housing reports show that the U.S. homeownership rate remains largely stagnant at approximately 65.3%, while millions of Americans continue struggling to access affordable housing opportunities. At the same time, the nation faces a severe shortage of affordable homes and starter homes for LMI families and communities of color. Mortgage rates remain elevated, and global instability — including the ongoing war in Iran and other international conflicts — continues to create economic uncertainty, increased inflationary pressure, and financial hardship for everyday Americans trying to purchase, maintain, or preserve a home.
These challenges disproportionately impact immigrant and Latino households, many of whom continue to experience fear, uncertainty, and economic disruption due to ongoing ICE raids and immigration enforcement actions occurring across the country. Families are being forced to make impossible decisions between safety, stability, employment, and housing security. We recognize the emotional and financial strain these realities place on our communities, and we remain committed to serving families with dignity, compassion, and respect.
Despite these challenges, HHI remains steadfast in our mission, vision, and values. We continue to believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to own a safe and stable home, build generational wealth, and create a lasting legacy for their families and future generations.
Every day, our team works to expand access to affordable homeownership, preserve housing stability, revitalize communities, and support families through financial education, housing counseling, foreclosure prevention, and community development initiatives. We remain deeply committed to addressing the racial homeownership gap and ensuring that LMI families are not left behind during these uncertain times.
We also continue to place tremendous faith in the success and long-term impact of the HHI Facility Fund I. This initiative represents more than an investment fund — it is a vehicle for transformation that will help us expand our reach, preserve affordability, rehabilitate housing, strengthen communities, and create sustainable pathways toward homeownership and wealth-building for generations to come.
While the challenges before us are significant, our faith, resilience, and commitment to community remain stronger. Together, we will continue building a future where every family has the opportunity not only to survive, but to thrive.
On behalf of all of us at Hogar Hispano Inc., we thank our partners, supporters, investors, volunteers, and the communities we proudly serve for continuing this journey alongside us.
With gratitude and hope,
Marcos Morales
