The Nehemiah Program...Getting the Boot???

As I learn more about this industry & profession I have joined , the more encouraging it is to see how many programs & offers of assistance are available to our clients. The Nehemiah Program is one of those programs available to lower to middle income buyers looking for down payment assistance.


From its website, The Nehemiah Program:

"...serves as a catalyst for economic empowerment and wealth creation by
expanding opportunities for responsible homeownership, affordable housing and
community revitalization.
To fulfill its Mission and Vision, Nehemiah
Corporation of America has developed a number of programs and affiliate
organizations to serve not just the immediate needs solved by homeownership, but
the longer term needs of urban areas, low- and middle-income families, and their
surrounding neighborhoods. These programs include The Nehemiah Program®,
Nehemiah Community Reinvestment FundTM, Inc. (NCRF), Nehemiah Community
FoundationTM, Inc. (NCF) and Nehemiah Urban Ministry Initiatives (NUMI)."

Then, I learn the powers that be (read HUD & the federal government) are looking to eliminate a privately run DPA program. Does this make any sense to you??? Why eliminate a program that uses private funds & instead depend on tax dollars (read you & me & your 1040) to fund public DPA programs. This is absolute nonsense.


Help save a good program by taking action today. Nehemiah has helped hundreds of thousands of buyers who would not have had the money to close on their homes. Link here to find out more on what you can do!
