AMEZ Celebrates Another First-Time Homeowner

There is a moment at every closing when the keys change hands and a renter becomes an owner. For the families who walk through AMEZ Housing CDC, that moment is the result of months, sometimes years, of classes, saving and steady work.

Since our first home sale in October 1996, more than 28 families have become first-time homeowners through our programs, and they have stayed in their homes without default. Behind each of those numbers is a household that learned to budget, repaired its credit, and showed up to class after class.

We are grateful to the congregations, partners and volunteers who make this work possible. If you would like to be part of the next family's story, you can volunteer or become a sponsor.
