As of June 19, 2009

Assistance funds are not available at this time and due to the volume of requests received for assistance, we have also closed our waiting lists for funds and are not adding additional clients at this time.

 

Should this situation change, we will keep you posted here and lenders should be sure to provide contact information (follow the link below) to receive future updates about our funding and programs.

 

If you are a potential homebuyer, we hope you will still consider attending our Homebuyer Education Class.  This is an important first step towards homeownership and attendees do receive first notification of funding when it becomes available.
