Part 5/10:
Acts provides a comprehensive suite of services to support families throughout the entire journey, making them a "one-stop shop" for homeownership. This includes homebuyer counseling, assistance in purchasing foreclosed or move-in-ready homes, and coaching through the rehab process when repairs are needed.
Breaking Barriers: The Path to Buying
Christina’s road to homeownership involved overcoming credit issues, a common barrier for many low-income families. Acts Housing's team, including a counselor named Maria, worked closely with her, explaining how to improve her credit and prepare financially. Her willingness to invest her own savings—upwards of $3,600 annually—demonstrates her commitment and highlights how Acts encourages families to save for emergencies and future stability.
