“The League’s historical mission of helping Black families build wealth has always incorporated homeownership among its strategies,” said Nancy Flake Johnson, president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Atlanta. “As we continue to recover from the ravages of the Covid-19 pandemic, increasing the number of stable homeowners in our communities becomes ever more important.”

Experts for the workshops and resource fair will include: mortgage lenders; HUD-approved housing counseling agencies; down-payment assistance specialists; State of Georgia down payment assistance program counselors; home inspectors; closing attorneys; Invest Atlanta Neighborhood Stabilization Programs (NSP); first-time homebuyer industry groups; HUD, realtors, and NSP property specialists; homeowners insurance providers, and more.

“We are pleased to have our banking partners supporting this event,” said Johnette Brown, the League’s director of Housing, Wealth Building and Community Development. “Down-payment assistance available for participants ranges from $7,500 to $45,000, depending on eligibility.

Additional money is available for first responders and educators. We encourage metro Atlanta residents considering homeownership to take advantage of the resources available at this event.”
