City Roots

pages_15_City Roots.jpgCity Roots provides homebuyer support, creating collaborative access to existing home ownership services. In the past year, we restructured the program and now have a monthly First Time Homebuyers Club. City Roots provides access and interpretation for homebuyer education classes and one-on-one counseling sessions, as well as assistance in navigating the banking and inspection processes. This format enables clients to become homeowners and establish deeper roots as they start life anew here in Buffalo.

In 2010,

  • 18 families attended the FirstTime Homebuyers Club.
  • 12 families are in the process of buying a home.
  • 6 families applied to Habitat for Humanity.
