Truett Cathy Professional Learning Center located at 1087 Battle Creek Rd, Jonesboro, GA 30236. This three-day event is expected to attract thousands of homebuyers seeking opportunities for affordable homeownership.
The NACA Best in America Mortgage is a distinguishing feature of this event, as it does not consider credit scores, broadening access to homeownership for a diverse audience. NACA aims to empower low-to-moderate income individuals and those facing barriers to homeownership. Additionally, recipients of Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers can utilize their vouchers for mortgage payments, further promoting long-term financial stability.
The event includes a streamlined, one-day homeownership process where participants can complete four essential steps to qualify for NACA’s mortgage program. Thousands of families have successfully transitioned to homeownership through NACA’s offerings, making this event a valuable opportunity for attendees.
Background and Goals
Bruce Marks, the CEO of NACA, emphasizes that the event’s objective is to dismantle the systemic barriers that prevent people of color, Hispanic communities, and working families in Atlanta from accessing affordable housing. By participating in this initiative, residents can transform their homeownership dreams into reality through NACA’s tools and advocacy.
Participants can expect a wealth of resources, including both pre- and post-purchase counseling services. NACA has established itself as a leader in economic justice, specifically aiding low-to-moderate-income families in acquiring homes. The NACA Home Purchase program addresses economic gaps in homeownership, particularly for those below the median income threshold.
NACA operates its programs without requesting additional governmental support, relying solely on existing HUD regulations. This politically neutral stance allows NACA to continue innovating in ways that enable families to build generational wealth through homeownership.
Community Outreach
Community outreach is a significant part of NACA’s mission, focusing on providing educational resources and potential partnerships with local housing authorities to enhance support. The organization continues to advocate for access to affordable housing while preventing foreclosures and assisting distressed homeowners with unsustainable mortgages, demonstrating its commitment to economic equity in housing.
