affordable housing assistance for African Americans
Organization: Portland Housing Bureau
Description:
The Portland Housing Bureau (PHB) has partnered with the Minority Homeownership Assistance Collaborative (MHAC) to identify and select eligible households for the Down Payment Assistance Loan program.
The PHB website provides dozens of valuable links to local organizations that provide homebuyer services. Many of them are non-profit organizations that provide the HUD-approved 8-hour homebuyer education class for free- or low-cost; the class is required for both the Down Payment Assistance Loans (DPAL) and Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCC).
