What is the Assisted Purchase Program and how does it work?

The Assisted Purchase Program is a practical, inclusive path to homeownership—designed for individuals and families who want to buy a home but don’t qualify for a traditional mortgage.

Here’s how it works:

  1. You choose the home you want (yes, really—right off the MLS).

  2. We guide you through the process and support you all the way to mortgage approval.

  3. You move in and start living in your new home!

While you're living in the home, we help you become mortgage-ready through a clear, step-by-step plan.
