Guiding First-Time Homebuyers on the Path to Homeownership

March 7, 2022

Buying a house creates opportunity to live in a safe, stable place of one’s own. For lower-income households, it is also an effective path to building personal wealth. CHAI can help make this dream a reality for first-time homebuyers. CHAI’s monthly Homebuyer Education Workshops inform participants about the home buying process. The next step—personalized pre-purchase counseling—provides tailored information and assessment of home affordability, a sustainable household budget, and guidance on how to get approved for a mortgage. With CHAI’s support, one recent client, who lives on a fixed income, purchased her very first home, finally realizing her dream of becoming a homeowner at the age of 60.
