Real Stories of Impact
"Before entering NPHA’s homeownership program, owning a home felt like a distant dream- something far out of reach. Between finances and not knowing where to start, I didn’t think buying a home was possible for someone like me but this program changed everything. It provided me with the guidance, education, and support I needed to take real steps toward my dream. Today, I’m proud to say I’m a homeowner. What once felt impossible is now my reality, and I'm so grateful for the assistance the program provided me with. "
