-: Hi, I'm Gene, I'm from Riverside, California,
and I've been an Altura member since 2019.
-: Hi, my name is Jennifer,
I live in Riverside, California,
and I've been an Altura member since 2019.
-: This has always been home for me.
I went to high school here,
I went to college here,
but once I made the decision
I'm gonna become a broadcast news reporter,
that uprooted my life.
It's time to come home.
I need to make a major life shift,
and that's exactly what happened.
I didn't just come home, I left the news business.
Jennifer: So many people leave California,
and it's a one way trip.
They don't come back again.
Gene: But we had an opportunity.
There was a door opening with Riverside County,
we had a place to land here,
because my father said, "Move into the condo."
-: The next day I called Altura,
and they made it very easy for us.
-: They were really responsive,
they communicated with us quickly in a timely way,
gave us great customer service,
and really just gave us hope
that the process was going through
and it was going through well.
This was a homecoming for us.
This was kind of our small piece of the American dream.
