Our Services
The primary goal of the DPA program is to increase the number of homeowners among African Americans, thereby strengthening communities throughout the United States. Grantees are gifted up to $7500 to be used towards down payment and closing costs for the purchase of a primary residence home. The program is intended for first-time home buyers who can afford monthly mortgage payments but do not have enough saved up to pay the initial down payment and non-reoccurring closing costs. If this is you, please reach out to us below to learn more!
Homebuyer
Education
Wider Path Home Foundation partners with Community Allies which brings the Honoring Stories and Integrating Curriculum@ methodology for bringing together businesses with governments, non-profits, and schools to strengthen local, regional, and national community growth initiatives that create pathways out of homelessness and into affordable housing, quality healthcare, youth development, workforce development, entrepreneurship, small business development, and talent pipelines for all. Community Allies helps Wider Path strengthen bank/lender and faith-based partnerships and provides pre-purchase, purchase, and post-purchase homebuyer education for faith-based organizations who set up Widening the Path programs for their congregations.
