“As a 24-year-old young lady who grew up in Douglas County, I never imagined that owning a home would be feasible. After some research and attending some first-time home buyer seminars, things started to look more promising! I credit my Dad to forcing me to buy instead of rent. He also refused to co-sign for me so that my credit was something I had to build on my own, and that has now paid off immensely. Because of the Douglas County Housing Partnership, I bought my first home almost 10 years ago at 24 years old. One of the biggest accomplishments in my life, and I owe it to this program. If you qualify, you have to take advantage of this opportunity. I have almost tripled the value of my home and now am able to make some good financial decisions because I am a homeowner. Not to mention the tax breaks! Take the leap! Thank you, Artie and your team, for all of your help these past 9+ years. I literally couldn’t have done it without you!” -Deidra B.

“The Douglas County First Time Home Buyers Program allowed me to purchase my first home immediately after college graduation, rather than renting” – Courtney S.

“DCHP is a great deal!” -Brock P.

“I am writing this letter to let you know how pleased and grateful I am about the assistance I received with my recent foreclosure and home modification issues.  My counselor was very knowledgeable and was able to find a resolution to my situation. She worked tirelessly, collaborating with different organizations to help me find relief and keep my home. She was very professional and empathetic to my plight. I can only imagine the work she did behind the scenes to find a prompt and reasonable solution. This was not an easy task by any means.  I cannot express how indebted I am to have such a troublesome burden lifted from my shoulders. Without her assistance, I do not want to think about where my family and I would be right now.  If at any time I should encounter someone going through the same difficulties I have experienced, I would not hesitate to recommend the Douglas County Housing Partnership and proclaim the excellent help I received.” T.T. – Parker
