Freedom First’s Affordable Housing Program is by no means a one-size-fits-all solution. Allison Wolf, Freedom First’s Housing Advocate, often works with members for months - or even years - to help first-time homebuyers build credit, save for a down payment, access down payment assistance, understand closing costs, find a trusted Realtor, and recommend custom underwriting for unique cases that might otherwise be denied via a more traditional route.
“Buying a home is complicated and stressful for anyone, whether you have a great deal of resources available to you or not,” said Allison. “Many of the members I’ve worked with over the years either don’t realize that homeownership is achievable for them, or they are totally overwhelmed by all of the paperwork and costs that add up. That’s where this program can help."
