How to Get Started

Buying a new home for the first time can be an exciting and lengthy process. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is the first step; however, we will work with you to determine if you are ready for homeownership now or assist you in planning for the future. 

Our staff will assess your unique situation and connect you with area resources for:
  • Down payment assistance                                                          
  • Securing a reduced mortgage rate
  • Home buyer education
  • Assistance qualifying for your mortgage                                
  • Credit repair                                                                                
  • Assistance with household budgeting and debt reduction
Our Program Manager can work with you to determine if you are ready for home ownership now, help you plan to get ready in the near future, guide you through the steps and requirements for placement on our list of approved home buyers, and/or refer you to additional community resources as needed.
