In North Texas, a local nonprofit is working to make homeownership a reality for mothers. The organization, Ascend Dallas, has a program called the Bright Beginnings Fund.

This fund is designed to assist qualifying mothers in turning their savings into a path towards owning a home.

Further details about the program and how it works are available from the source, NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, which reported on the initiative during National Homeownership Month in June.
