Omar Ramirez and Erika Renderos

Omar and Erika had been trying to buy a home for a number of years and were concerned that they could not afford a down payment and closing costs. Thanks to a referral to NHS from one of our banking partners, Omar and Erika were able to qualify for $25,000 in down payment assistance through one of our programs. They were renting at Erika’s mother’s house and are excited to finally have their own space for them and their family.
To Omar and Erika “Home is home.”

Christopher McNeal

Mr. McNeal a Compton native and was referred to NHS from his finance and spoke highly of our loan team. This was Mr. McNeal’s first home! He purchased the home for his children and his children’s children to build a legacy for them.
To Mr. McNeal, home means a place of lessons, family and stability.

Geraldine

Geraldine came to NHS in need of down payment assistance and we were here to help! When Geraldine decided that she would become a homeowner, she didn’t look back. She got educated through an 8 hour First Time Homebuyer program and paid down her debts to get her and her three boys on the path of #wealth.

Irma

Irma Molina is a proud, longtime resident of Baldwin Park, where she is one of the original homeowners on her street. After decades of watching her children, grandchildren, and the greater Baldwin Park community grow and change, Irma decided that it was finally time to rehab her home. The improvement we made will help her home continue to be a safe and welcoming place.
