Success Story
Alicia, Hope Institute Client: PBCIP’s Homeownership Education program put me on the right path and kept me there. The classes were informative and the one-on-one sessions helped me reach that ultimate goal of buying my first home! My family is so happy! PBCIP’s Homeownership Coordinator made me feel comfortable about my financial situation, allowing me to be honest and open. I have told many of my friends, coworkers and family about your program, and that if followed correctly, buying a home is possible!!
I really can’t stress enough how following their advice helped. My lender and realtor even told me how they have never seen someone approved by the mortgage company and state grant program so fast. I had every document ready to go. This program is awesome!
