Empowering First-Time Homebuyers: Recap of our Franklin County Workshop

Are you dreaming of owning your first home but unsure where to start? Our recent workshop, hosted at the Franklin County Public Library on April 27th, 2024, was designed to provide individuals and families with the knowledge and skills needed to make that dream a reality. Sponsored by our local nonprofit organization, dedicated to developing communities by providing housing, education, and supportive services to low-income individuals and families, this event was a resounding success.

Connecting You with Expertise

One of the highlights of the workshop was the opportunity to connect with experts in the field. Representatives from Atlantic Union Bank and Divine Fog Realty shared valuable insights into mortgage programs, grants for down payments and closing costs, and how to navigate the home buying process. Additionally, Jessica O'Neal, Executive Director of our nonprofit organization, was on hand to offer guidance and support.

Overcoming Barriers to Homeownership

We understand that there are barriers to homeownership, especially for those on a limited income. That's why our workshop focused on practical solutions to these challenges. Attendees learned about down payment assistance programs, closing cost assistance, and other resources available to help make owning a home a reality.
