PRE-PURCHASE HOUSING SUCCESS STORY

With the help of the Urban League’s Housing Program and extensive resources, our client achieved her life-long dream and successfully
purchased a 3-bedroom home in Hampton, Virginia valued at $187,000.

Working two jobs and sharing an apartment with her daughter, her goal was to overcome credit issues related to a past bankruptcy. She
took advantage of our First Time Homebuyer’s Class where she learned the importance of understanding her credit score and developed a budget and savings plan to help purchase her new home.
