We believe that every dollar donated to our cause should be accounted for with complete transparency. Here's exactly how we manage and spend your contributions.
Last updated: 23 July 2025
Homes Before Growth is currently in its early formation phase and is entirely funded by its founder, John Eamer, who has provided 100% of startup capital.
All expenses to date — including website development, legal preparation, outreach tools, and operational costs — have been personally covered by the founder, without the use of public donations, memberships, or third-party contributions.
A dedicated, clearly labelled sub-account (HBG-Expenses) has been created under the founder's personal banking platform to isolate all movement-related transactions. This account is used exclusively for Homes Before Growth activities, and detailed records of all income and expenditure are maintained through a custom-built financial tracking system.
To ensure full transparency, a summary of account activity is regularly published on this page. No reimbursements, stipends, or payments have been made to the founder at this time.
As the movement progresses toward legal registration and opens a formal bank account under the name Homes Before Growth, this funding structure will evolve. At that time, all reimbursements or administrative stipends (if any) will be publicly declared and governed by internal policy and compliance with electoral and financial laws.
Homes Before Growth is committed to transparency, accountability, and ethical financial conduct from day one.
See below for a detailed breakdown of current HBG-related expenses and income. All transactions are tracked in real-time through our integrated financial system.
Public donations are not currently being accepted until formal registration and a dedicated party account are in place. This protects both donors and the movement during our formation phase.
