Daniel Wolbe/Liberty Home Equity Solutions

Since 2004, Liberty Home Equity Solutions has stayed true to their mission of helping clients build financial independence and security through home equity solutions. Over the years, they have grown from a small start-up to one of the largest Home Equity Conversion Mortgage lenders in the nation. They have helped over 50,000 seniors obtain access to the equity in their homes to help them live more comfortable and financially secure lives.

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan – also known as a reverse mortgage – can be an important financial option for seniors, their family members, and financial professionals to consider as part of an overall retirement planning strategy or to help meet cash flow needs.

A HECM loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and allows senior homeowners 62 and over to access part of the equity in their home to help them live more comfortably during retirement. With a HECM loan, there are no monthly mortgage payments; no upfront lender fees; and fixed and variable rate options.

Borrowers must live in the home as their primary residence and continue to pay for property taxes, insurance and home maintenance based on program guidelines as established by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Failure to meet these requirements can trigger a loan default that may result in foreclosure.

Susan Boland Butts/Hi-Hope Service Center

Hi-Hope Service Center provides services to adults with developmental disabilities in Gwinnett County. Over 50 years ago the parents of six young students from Gwinnett County founded one of the first organizations in Georgia to teach children with intellectual disabilities. The Hi-Hope Service Center, formerly known as Gwinnett County Association for Retarded Citizens, was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in 1960. Under the capable leadership of Vinie Lowry, and support from many parents and the greater Gwinnett community, construction of a special needs school was completed in 1970. In the late 1990s when all student programs, including the pre-school program, were integrated into the public schools, Hi-Hope successfully transitioned to an organization supporting developmentally disabled adults. Currently, Hi-Hope supports 108 individuals through its weekday community access, employment and residential group home programs.
