Objective: To increase the level of access to affordable
housing and rehab programs for families traditionally isolated
from available resources.
There are currently a wide range of housing programs
available to low income families in the Rio Grande Valley.
However, many families are either unaware of how to access those
resources or may not immediately qualify due to poor or lack of
credit history. This component helps address some of these
issues.
Services include:
- Financial assessments to determine families' eligibility
for a variety of housing programs.
- Housing counseling for families who do not qualify due
to excessive debt or credit problems.
- Eligible families are matched with housing organizations
that provide mortgage financing, down payment assistance and
home rehabilitation funds.
As part of the effort to fill the gap between available
resources and family needs, a
Housing
Resource Guide has been compiled with a list of local
housing programs. The goal of this guide is to facilitate
referrals among housing providers.
Please note that the Housing Resource Guide only includes
information on the housing programs that gave us permission to
publish and post information on-line. |
