Students Aiding Indigent Families (SAIF)

2006 BRICK Award winner Ashley Gunn started Students Aiding Indigent Families (SAIF) after a mission trip to Africa the summer before entering 7th grade. SAIF is a not-for-profit organization which purchases foreclosed houses, repairs and remodels them, and works with urban families to purchase the homes below market value. Additionally, SAIF helps families to figure out a mortgage financing plan that works for them.
