AHEAD Expands Pathways to Homeownership Program with New Grafton County Funding
Littleton, NH — AHEAD (Affordable Housing, Education, and Development, Inc.) is excited to announce the expansion of its Pathways to Homeownership down payment assistance program. With newly secured funding from the County the program will now extend its reach to eligible homebuyers throughout Grafton County. This expansion, branded as Pathways to Homeownership II, allows eligible buyers to receive 5% of purchase price, up to $20,000 in down payment assistance when buying a home in Grafton County. Participants must be employed within the county, purchasing a primary residence there, and have a household income at or below 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
The Pathways to Homeownership program offers a forgivable grant as assistance, emphasizing sustainable homeownership within New Hampshire’s communities. This expansion builds upon the original Pathways to Homeownership I program, funded by the Neil & Louise Tillotson Fund, which supports homebuyers in Coös County as well as the towns of Bethlehem and Littleton, NH.
As part of the program requirements, all interested buyers must complete AHEAD’s “Secrets of Homebuying” workshop, along with a minimum of one hour of one-on-one HUD housing counseling provided by AHEAD’s certified counselors. This counseling provides valuable financial education, budgeting skills, and credit improvement strategies, empowering participants to succeed as long-term homeowners. As a HUD-approved agency, AHEAD ensures clients receive unbiased guidance tailored to their best interests.
Since its founding in 1991, AHEAD has served the communities of Northern New Hampshire, offering affordable housing, financial education workshops, individualized counseling, and foreclosure prevention support. With over 500 rental units currently under management across Grafton and Coös counties, AHEAD remains committed to helping community members achieve financial stability and sustainable homeownership.
