Abode Alliance’s homeownership counseling program gives potential homeowners access to nonprofit, HUD-Approved housing counseling agencies and lenders that offer competitive, fixed-rate mortgages which may include closing cost grants and downpayment assistance subsidies.
NYMC housing counseling agencies provide home buyer education – both financial and housing education – year-round in all five boroughs as well as Suffolk County and Nassau County.
What are the benefits?
Through the homeownership and home buyer education workshops and one-on-one counseling of our housing counseling agencies, you will learn life-long financial management skills that enable you to establish credit, maintain a personal budget, qualify for a mortgage, and eventually purchase a home. You will learn if you are eligible for particular grants and subsidies and you will gain an advocate who will prepare you for homeownership.
