Own It’s 20th Closing Celebration!

Last week we celebrated Own It’s 20th closing — congratulations to Heidy and Oscar on buying your first home!

“Before joining the Own It program, we never believed homeownership was within reach due to various circumstances. It seemed like an impossible dream, and we had never even considered applying for a mortgage loan. But through the education we received from the Own It courses, we began to see that becoming homeowners was not only possible—it was something we could pursue. The journey has been challenging, but today, we are at the final step—closing on our home. We owe this incredible milestone to the community of people who stood by us, guiding and supporting us every step of the way. Thank you. We are so grateful.”

With the help of a $19,000 down payment grant (no restrictions or payback required), Heidy and Oscar are now on the path to building generational wealth. Learn more about how our grant program works.
