How the program works

Five steps take you from renter to homeowner. You set the pace, and we’re beside you the whole way.

Commit to the process

It starts with your decision. Owning a home strengthens your whole financial picture, and the work you put in now pays off for years. We ask for your commitment; we bring everything else.

Take the free questionnaire

A few minutes of questions show us your income, credit, and goals so we can map your route.

Start the questionnaire

Get mortgage ready, with us beside you

We help you open credit lines, dispute errors on your credit report, and deal with old debts. Debts can often be challenged, put on a new payment plan, reduced, or cleared. There’s very little that hard work can’t overcome.

Qualify and apply for your mortgage

You’ll meet your state housing finance agency’s affordability standards and apply for a home loan. You can use any lender, but our mortgage officer, [Name], specializes in affordable housing and has access to down payment programs few other officers can offer.

Close and get your keys

You sign the papers on the home you already know and love. From here on, it’s yours, and you’re in charge.

How long does it take?

It depends on where you’re starting. Some families are nearly ready on day one; others need several months to build credit and resolve old accounts.

The questionnaire gives us what we need to estimate your timeline. [Add typical timeframes once confirmed.]

What if I don’t want to buy?

You won’t have to move. Your lease will be honored, and you can keep renting your home.
