Westward360 partners with Home For A Home to fund housing in Guatemala

Westward360 is teaming with Home For A Home to direct a portion of closing proceeds toward building homes for families in Guatemala. The partnership could help fund at least two new homes a year and supports a nonprofit focused on safer housing, clean water and basic sanitation.

Why it matters: - The partnership turns routine real estate closings into funding for housing support in Guatemala. - Westward360’s planned contributions could help Home For A Home build at least two new homes each year. - Home For A Home estimates each home costs about $3,500, so even smaller donations can move the mission forward. - The work targets families facing poverty, unsafe housing and limited access to clean water and sanitation.

What happened: - Westward360 announced a partnership with Home For A Home, a nonprofit that provides safe, stable housing for families in Guatemala. - The Chicago-based community association management company will contribute a portion of the proceeds from every closing its team supports through the program. - The announcement was made August 24, 2026.

The details: - Home For A Home was founded in 2012 and is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit. - The organization has invested nearly $1 million in housing solutions in Guatemala since its founding. - Those projects have included earthquake-resistant concrete-block homes, clean-burning wood stoves and water filters. - Home For A Home says those efforts have benefited more than 500 families across Guatemala. - The nonprofit says more than one million people in Guatemala live below the poverty line. - Home For A Home links improved housing and basic services to better health, safer living conditions and stronger child development. - The organization says clean-burning stoves can reduce indoor smoke particles by as much as 98% while also lowering firewood costs. - Westward360 is a full-service community association management company headquartered in Chicago with thousands of units under management and a growing national footprint.

Between the lines: - The partnership fits Westward360’s stated interest in community impact beyond its core business. - The model also gives the company a charitable angle tied directly to transactions it already supports. - For Home For A Home, the deal adds a recurring funding stream instead of relying only on one-time donations. - The collaboration signals a shared emphasis on practical infrastructure, not just short-term relief.

What's next: - Westward360 will begin directing a portion of qualifying closing proceeds to Home For A Home. - The partnership is expected to support future home construction in Guatemala. - Individuals and organizations can donate, sponsor the company or explore other ways to get involved through the nonprofit's get-involved page. - Westward360 and Home For A Home both said they want to continue building support for children and families in Guatemala.

The bottom line: - Westward360 is linking its business activity to a measurable housing mission in Guatemala, with the potential to fund two new homes a year.
