Agency Info:
The American Dream Homeownership Program's goal is to educate families and individuals on the various aspects of homeownership. Assisting families to become homeowners will not only benefit the individual families who are able to purchase a home, but will also benefit neighborhoods and communities. There are two aspects to the program:
Home Ownership Training
OAI has implemented an intensive homeownership training course. The curriculum covers issues such as: goal setting, household budgeting, credit counseling, home financing, maintenance and upkeep and many other topics
related to homeownership. The first round of training courses were held in West Plains with ten families completing the training. Training sessions will also be held in each of the counties in the OAI service area.
Affordable Housing Construction
OAI has completed six homes through the American Dream Project. These energy efficient homes will be sold to moderate-income families who have completed the homeownership training. It is estimated that 15 to 18
new homes will be built and sold to low to moderate-income families in the service area within the next four years.
Down Payment Assistance Grants
Their are several programs available to help with down payments or closing costs
when purchasing a home. For more information about approved financial institutions contact OAI.
