Homeownership Program

NeighborWorks Lincoln helps make the American dream come true!

Are you considering buying a home? If you are ready, our Homeownership Program can help you through the steps of the process by providing homebuyer education and possibly an assistance loan for down-payment, closing costs and rehabilitation. Our program begins with 4 informative classes where the details of the homebuying process are explained by certified instructors.

The first step is to apply to the program. If you are approved, you will be invited to take the homebuyer classes. (Please note: even if you do not qualify for the down payment assistance, you can still attend the classes.) The next step is to meet with our Homeownership Coordinator to obtain approval for an assistance loan. Afterwards, you will meet with the lender for your first mortgage loan pre-approval. Finally, find a good Realtor to help you find your new HOME.

We are currently out of funds for down payment assistance. We will be receiving funding in September, 2019. We will continue to provide Home Buyer education classes throughout the year.
