New Story was founded in 2014 on a simple belief: there s no place like home.
After impacting thousands of families across Latin America, we discovered families don t want handouts, they want to participate in a housing market where they can afford the housing they need.
Philanthropy and government subsidies only address 20% of the global housing need. The remaining 1.8 billion people require a different approach.
New Story harnesses market forces to make land and home ownership possible for underserved families. We ve reduced the path to ownership from 10 years to just 2 years.
We re building a new system where capital, innovation, and dignity work together.
Meet a few people experiencing the life-changing benefits of land and home ownership.
We’re in a global housing crisis. And it’s keeping millions of families, especially women and children, from reaching their full potential.
We work with local developers and municipalities to create solutions that are profitable for providers and affordable for families.
We’re equipping families to build wealth and break the poverty cycle by making land and home ownership more accessible.
Donors, investors, and corporations are working together to tackle the housing crisis.
Our supporters help us use multiple interventions and blended capital to build a better housing market for vulnerable families. Sustainable solutions are creating scalable impact.

What does a shared community space look like when neighbors design it together? Thanks to @lemonade_inc, we’ll find out! 🍋🛝🌳💡 In September, current and future residents of El Porvenir, a community in Ahualulco de Mercado, Jalisco, gathered to imagine the public space they’ll share for years to come. Women, men, and kids each dreamed up their own vision, then put it on paper. Shade for gathering. Room to play. A place to celebrate together. These drawings are the blueprint. 💛 🎥: @maxsepumm @memoriasmilimetricas

In Mexico, the path to homeownership is layered and complex. New Story exists to pave the way to home ownership for working families, starting with the land that makes everything else possible. Because when families lead, communities thrive. 🎥: @calicosonder

We're hiring a Chief Development Officer to help us scale what we believe is the most overlooked lever in the housing crisis: land ownership.

Yesterday we shared the big news. Today we just want to say: we are so grateful. Brett, thank you for 11 years of building something worth believing in. Catherine, our team is ready, and we couldn't be more glad to have you leading the way. 🏠

📣 Some big news coming to you from our executive team!

Big news: we've partnered with @lemonade_inc! 🎉🍋 Thanks to their $254K placemaking grant, we're co-creating shared public spaces with 340 families in Ahualulco de Mercado, Mexico, all of whom are first-time landowners building their dream homes. Parks, shade, benches, lights, places for kids to play. Co-created with the families who call this neighborhood home. That's ~1,200 people building not just homes, but a neighborhood they're proud of. Grateful doesn't cover it. Thank you, @lemonade_inc 💖 #LemonadeGiveback2026

Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. 🎥: @calicosonder

David is a skilled tradesman. He knows how to build, and all he needed was land. Now he's doing exactly that for his family. On land he owns. 🎥: @calicosonder

To share and exchange cultures is a gift. Across the world, music finds a way to connect us all! 🎥: @calicosonder

Casa Conversations brings New Story donors and homeowners together through real-time AI translation, creating space for honest connection across cultures. In episode one, Godard and Stacy from Boulder, Colorado sit down with David from Ahualulco de Mercado, Jalisco to share stories of family, culture, and what home truly means. This is Casa Conversations. Episode 1 is live. Link in bio. 📽️: @calicosonder

📣 FULL SUMMIT RECAP IS HERE. Valle de Bravo, Mexico Winter Summit 2026

Every detail of our Winter Summit is planned with intention, by the same team that lives it. The lunchtime conversations, the venue, the moments in between. That's what strengthens our culture.

We took design inspo from the 1968 Mexico City Olympics for this year's Winter Summit. Bold graphics, strong color, and a whole lot of intention behind every detail. Meaningful design sets the tone, and this summit had plenty of it.

Best part of getting the whole team together? Getting to know the people behind the work. Our whole team was together for a few days of planning, bonding, and a little friendly competition. (Turns out, we're pretty good at archery!) More from our 2026 Winter Summit coming this week.

Reminiscing on our time all together at New Story’s summit! ☀️✈️📈🏡🚀 📸: @nathanbach @jasonsosa_g @calicosonder

Between the mountains and the agave fields, something beautiful is taking root. This is Mexico, where land becomes legacy, where families build their own futures, where ownership changes everything. 🇲🇽

As we settle into the holiday season with loved ones, we're feeling warmth and gratitude from this past year. Wishing you happy holidays from all of us at New Story. ✨🏠💛
