Westside Future Fund (WFF) is proud to celebrate a new beginning for CJ Williams, the latest first-time homebuyer to close on a home through our Home on the Westside program.

A dedicated Atlanta Public Schools teacher and staff member at the Atlanta Trap Music Museum, CJ is now the proud owner of a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in English Avenue — a neighborhood rich with history and on the rise thanks to intentional investments and community-rooted progress.

CJ’s journey to homeownership reflects the promise of Home on the Westside and the power of partnership. With more than $120,000 in down payment assistance from five sources — including $60,000 from Westside Future Fund — CJ was able to purchase a home in the community he serves and loves.

Along the way, CJ also participated in financial education courses offered through WFF’s partnership with Operation HOPE. These courses provided tools and guidance that helped him strengthen his financial foundation and prepare for homeownership with confidence.

With keys in hand and his future rooted in English Avenue, CJ joins a growing number of legacy residents and those with deep ties to the community choosing to stay and thrive in Atlanta’s historic Westside.
