home ownership Program


As part of their Home Ownership Program, OAHI offers first-time homebuyers a range of services to help get mortgage ready, find a home, choose a lender, and access special financing opportunities, free of charge.  https://www.fanniemae.com/education


Available Assistance

The OAHI Home Ownership Program provides first-time homebuyers with a range of services to assist in purchasing their first home.

There are Private Counseling Sessions where professionals review applicants’ credit, income, and assets to help identify any obstacles. In the case that there needs to be corrective action, counselors will help you develop and stick to a sensible plan.

They hold mandatory 8-hour Homebuyer Workshops to qualify for many first-time homebuyer loan products in the area.

OAHI helps with Loan Prequalification and Application, and identifies special financing programs and refer borrowers to preferred lenders that are particularly knowledgeable about the first-time homebuyers' market.

We also help with Finding a Home by maintaining a referral list of preferred Realtors who understand the needs of first-time homebuyers.

Post-Purchase Counseling can benefit clients who need extra support to stick to their household budgets or face unexpected circumstances that affect their ability to pay their mortgage. OAHI can help advise first-time homeowners with a number of issues like expensive maintenance issues, refinancing, or even foreclosure.

What We Do

Omni Affordable Housing Inc is a one-stop-shop of sorts for potential homeowners. We incorporate homeownership education and assist you from the beginning to the end of the entire process. Through the acquisition of land for development, and rehabilitation of damaged/abandoned homes, we guarantee your first home will be affordable. Our clients will only have to worry about completing our home buyer program, which consists of these three steps:

Step One: Prep
  • Clients bring their prepared financial documents to be reviewed by the OAHI team. After the documents are looked over we also discuss how much work will need to be done during step two.

Step Two: Homework
  • Clients start our Home Ownership Competency Course and start any other programs necessary to get on track to buy a home. This can be the lengthiest part of the program.

Step Three: Home Buying
  • After completing any programs assigned in step two, the home buying process begins. Clients choose from one of the many OAHI homes and achieve their dream of home ownership.

One of our qualified housing counselors will call you back and confirm the time and date of your appointment.
