JVS Program
to Provide
Home Down
Payment
Assistance
JVS Human Services announced
the HarMoney Program, a new
financial initiative to help low- to
moderate-income families in
Oakland County get their foot
on the home ownership ladder.
Through the HarMoney
Program, qualified families can
receive up to $1,000 down pay-
ment assistance on a home or for
repairing their financial credit
to help them qualify for home
ownership, after successful com-
pletion of a 12-week financial
education course.
Up to 40 qualified families will
benefit from the initiative which
will launch Monday, Nov. 9, at
3 p.m. via Facebook Live. The
program is made possible by a
$50,000 grant from TCF Bank’
s
Community Impact Fund.
“
Around 75 percent of the
calls we receive into our financial
coaching department are about
home ownership, with one of the
largest barriers being the inabili-
ty to fund a down payment,
” said
Laltsha Cunningham, financial
capability supervisor at JVS
Human Services.
The program includes 12
weeks of interactive financial
education workshops (1-2
hours per week); eight individ-
ual financial coaching sessions;
referrals to organizations that
focus on income support and
career development; develop-
ment of a credit repair strategy;
credit reports; and down pay-
ment assistance of up to $1,000
per family after successful pro-
gram completion.
Applicants must be low- to
moderate-income based on
HUD income limits and have a
current credit score at or below
620. For information, email
