Bringing Home The Dream!
Could you be the next homeowner in your community? Are you a cook, truck driver, teacher, factory worker, firefighter? – in short, a hard-working person who thinks that home ownership is probably beyond your reach? Think again. Nationally, some 90% of first-time homebuyers have low or moderate incomes, earning less than 80% of their area’s median family income (Grafton County’s median family income is $55,300). 64% of these homebuyers are also single-headed households, of which 4% are female-headed and 23% are male-headed.
AHEAD, Inc, (Affordable Housing, Education and Development) is proud of its record in northern New Hampshire communities. Since opening our HomeOwnership Center in 2000, our organization has helped more than 450 low- and moderate-income families achieve home ownership. Through our partnerships with local banks and government agencies, we have created an effective system for developing affordable housing, counseling prospective buyers, and arranging financing for buyers whose modest income might otherwise be an insurmountable hurdle.
Our experience demonstrates that families desiring home ownership are often trapped in situations that seem overwhelming. Perhaps they pay so much for rental housing that little is left to save for down payments. Or the family’s breadwinner has a good job and pays the bills regularly, but has a spotty work or credit history. Sometimes, the obstacles to home ownership seem beyond the control of the prospective buyer. AHEAD can step in and help break down the obstacles to homeownership one step at a time, whatever that obstacle might be.
Home ownership is a cherished value in our national life, providing an avenue for people of modest means to build financial security. AHEAD’s NeighborWorks® HomeOwnership Center’s strategy of forging vital partnerships among businesses, government and community residents is a proven winner. AHEAD can help provide the opportunity for any hard-working individual who wants the American dream of homeownership.
Don’t miss out on your opportunity to explore the possibility of homeownership. Attend AHEAD’s upcoming “Secrets of Homebuying” workshop on Saturday, February 20th in Plymouth. There’s a $45 fee to attend and pre-registration is required.
