In October 2023, this client took a significant step toward homeownership by attending a homebuyer workshop, a requirement for a new program in Atlanta aimed at supporting local workers. As part of the program, she qualified for $80,000 in down payment assistance. 

With this support, the client was able to secure a beautiful new or remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home close to downtown Atlanta, where she and her mother now reside. Her journey showcases how targeted assistance and education can help make homeownership possible for those committed to their communities.

This client’s journey is a powerful example of what can be achieved with dedication and support. Starting in May 2021, the client began working toward financial stability, facing significant challenges along the way. By December 2023, they reached an inspiring milestone—closing on their first home. 

This accomplishment has created a stable environment for their family, offering a secure home and the promise of long-term financial benefits, such as building equity. This journey underscores the value of resilience, goal-setting, and the support of NID Housing Counseling resources in achieving financial goals.
