PATHWAY TO HOMEOWNERSHIP

Are You Ready?


At New American Funding, we believe that every person deserves a clear path to achieving their dream of homeownership. So, we created the Pathway to Homeownership initiative to alleviate some of your financial worries.


What is the Pathway to Homeownership Initiative?


The Pathway to Homeownership offers qualified borrowers in select areas up to $6,000 in assistance. These funds are not a loan that needs to be repaid and are available to first-time homebuyers in designated areas.

This program can also potentially be combined with other down payment assistance programs to offer you even more support as you build the life of your dreams.
