Sharp Residential Supports Nehemiah Corporation

The Nehemiah Corporation is a non-profit group that helps provide homeowners with money for down payments. The Nehemiah Corporation is part of a bigger picture called Down-Payment Assistance that is in jeopardy of being eliminated with the passing of the housing stimulus bill. It’s important to know both the pros and cons of the housing stimulus bill, and if it gets passed, Down Payment Assistance will be eliminated. This is a major con for the housing stimulus bill and has many real estate professionals nervous for the negative effect it may have on the industry. Nearly 100,000 individuals became homeowners through programs like the Nehemiah Corporation last year. Such organizations really help first-time hombuyers, single mothers, minorities and more to be able to purchase a new home when normally their financial situation would not permit it. If you want to take action to help keep these Down Payment Assistance programs, you need to contact your local congressman to express your concerns ASAP. The housing stimulus bill is going to be passed VERY QUICKLY and there isn’t much time left to have it be amended.
