Overview of Requirements
- Afford a monthly mortgage. Our future homeowners need a middle credit score of 630. They also need to meet these income guidelines. These income requirements ensure that your mortgage stays affordable for you.
- Need access to a safe, affordable house. Do you live in a home that’s overcrowded, temporary, or unsafe (I.e. not maintained by your landlord)? Or is your household paying more than 30% of its monthly income toward housing? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you meet this criterion.
- Partner with us. We want you to feel ready to own your home. Our homeownership classes and one-on-one counseling give you the tools to be a successful homeowner by walking you through basic home maintenance, budgeting, and more.
