At AmeriDream, our mission is helping more individuals and families become homeowners. And, for many people, a home purchase is often their largest investment and most significant asset. Today, many first-time homebuyers, minorities, and other underserved groups face extreme challenges in their efforts to achieve homeownership. Our goal is to help these individuals and families have access to safe and affordable homes. We meet this goal by removing one of the biggest obstacles in the home buying process – providing gift funds for down payment and closing costs. Through our AmeriDream Gift Downpayment Program, we provide up to 10% in funds for down payment assistance that never have to be repaid.
There are three words that best describe AmeriDream – Responsible, Responsiveness, and Reliable.
Responsible - At AmeriDream, we believe everyone deserves an opportunity to live in safe, decent, and affordable housing. Our goal is to expand affordable housing opportunities and increase homeownership for everyone in need of assistance. We help first-time homebuyers, and individuals and families who have low and moderate incomes who qualify for a home mortgage loan but lack the funds they need for down payment and closing costs.
We also know that an educated homebuyer usually results in a successful homeownership experience. Our free online Homebuyer Education Course is a resource that gives homebuyers the tools to understand what it means to purchase, own, and keep their home. With more knowledge about homeownership, traditionally underserved homebuyers will better understand their rights and responsibilities, take advantage of their opportunity to accumulate wealth, and help build stronger communities.
Funds for our gift assistance program come from AmeriDream’s Home Fund, a fund established specifically for down payment assistance. Our goal is to help provide an affordable solution for low and moderate income individuals and families who qualify for mortgage loans but lack the funds they need for down payment and closing costs.
