Homeownership

Owning your primary residence is a core foundation for wealth building. However, due to factors such as credit, tax records, and legal status many immigrants find it difficult to overcome the hurdle of owning their own home. As a result, they spend countless unnecessary dollars on renting apartments and forgo building equity. The Nigerian Center helps solve this program through its first-time homeownership program. Our housing team will provide ongoing educational programs and application support services such as:

• 1-on-1 homeownership counseling

• Access to first-time homeowner resources

• Related financial services such as credit building

• Support gathering necessary legal documents

• Down payment and closing cost assistance
