Congratulations to Charlotte Haywood-Watkins, one of the newest homeowners through Westside Future Fund's Home on the Westside program.

Last week Charlotte closed on a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home on English Avenue — the result of nearly three years of preparation. She entered the Home on the Westside pipeline in 2022 and spent that time steadily building her savings until she was ready to buy. She also joins family already rooted here. Her mother, Colette Haywood, purchased her own home through the program in 2024, and her father Leonard Watkins serves as chair of NPU-L. Charlotte's story is exactly what Home on the Westside was built to do: open a real path to homeownership for people ready to put down roots in the historic Westside — and make sure they can stay and build here.
