Get Your Journey Started

We offer financial support to help make homeownership more accessible:

• Up to $18,000 for first-time homebuyers (First Time Homebuyer DPA)

• First-time homebuyers (Veterans): Receive up to $30,000 or 20% of the purchase price, whichever is less.
  

• First-generation homebuyers (Veterans): Receive up to $60,000 or 20% of the purchase price, whichever is less.

This assistance can help reduce the amount you need to bring to closing and improve affordability.

Applicants may receive up to five preference points:

• First-generation homebuyer — 1 point

• Housing Works client — 1 point

• Employee of an Employer Partner — 2 points

• Veteran — 1 point

After the application period closes, applicants are assigned a random number and placed into tiers based on preference points. Selection begins with the highest point tier and continues until homes are filled. Two waitlist positions are selected per home.

RootedHomes does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.

If an applicant is chosen for a home through our selection, a criminal background check will be pulled within 90-days prior to closing on the home for all adults who will be on the title of the home.

All potential homeowners must meet Criminal Record Policyrequirements.
