Empowa's rent-to-own solution, unlocks the informal income from working families so they can access affordable and climate-resilient housing while building a credit history 📈 Home ownership transforms housing from a continuous expense into an investment, thereby creating a fundamental building block towards poverty alleviation! 🏠🙏🏽 #renttoown #affordablehousing
