NeighborWorks® America and the NeighborWorks Network are helping citizens on very low incomes become homeowners through its Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program (formerly known as the Section 8 to Homeownership initiative). NeighborWorks America supports this program by providing training, technical assistance and financial support in more than 300 communities. NeighborWorks America plans to focus on building strong partnerships between public housing authorities and members of its NeighborWorks organizations.
NeighborWorks organizations participating
in the Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership
Program
Since 2001, NeighborWorks America has used $25 million in congressional appropriations
to help public housing authorities assist families using Section 8 assistance for homeownership.
The majority of the congressional appropriation has been used
for capacity-building grants, in recognition that some NeighborWorks
organizations may need to tailor their prepurchase and postpurchase
services to the specific needs of housing choice voucher homebuyers.
