THE ROAD TO OWNERSHIP
El Camino builds homes for working families in Fort Worth — and turns the builders who build them into owners of the fund that builds them.
THE STORY
“You can pour the foundation and never own the house.”
My father poured concrete for forty years. He ran the crew. He built this city with his hands — and he never owned the house. "Everybody deserves a home," he told me. El Camino is the road he never got to walk. We built it so the next man who pours the foundation can hold the keys.
THE VISION
We build attainable homes on empty lots in Fort Worth.
We sell them to working families who can finally own a home.
The builders who build them own the fund — and the money builds the next home.
Charity housing keeps people renting hope. This is housing as wealth, not a handout.
THIS IS FOR YOU
You run crews. You train your family. You build on cash because the bank never showed up for you. El Camino is the formal structure you were never offered: come in as an owner — not labor — keep building, and turn the work you already do into wealth you keep. You don't need the bank. You need the road.
THE PATHWAY
The builder-LPs fund and prove the model with their own capital, side by side.
At proof of concept, mission-aligned impact capital joins on equal footing — never above the builders.
We convert to a Community Development Financial Institution — formal capital, finally, for the communities banks left behind.
This is how the informal economy becomes the formal one — on the builders' terms.
THE IMPACT
working families who finally own.
builders who become owners, not just workers.
capital kept with local crews and families.
Every number is measured, with a source.
