Doorway to Prosperity
Through our Doorway to Prosperity program, we offer affordable home opportunities to households with an area median income of less than 110% with a priority focus on those at 80% and below.
This program utilizes down payment assistance offered through community and lending partnerships combined with True Homes commitment to build at price points that rarely exist. This initiative allows more families to cross the threshold of homeownership and build generational wealth.
Since 2022, True Homes has provided 94 Doorway to Prosperity homes and over 100 more are currently under development for 2025.
