SUMMARY:Your Homeownership Dreams Can Come True!
DESCRIPTION:Your Homeownership Dreams Can Come True!\nDate: August 5\, 2026 \nTime: 6-8p.m. \nLocation: African American Museum of Iowa\, 55 12th Ave\, Cedar Rapids\, IA 52401 \n  \n \n  \nThe next Journey to Homeownership Class is August 5th! \nThere is one in-person class scheduled. Additional classes and events will be added each month.  Please use the links below to register (registration required).  \n Click here to register! *** Tickets open starting July 24th\, at 8:30 AM ***  \nQuestions: Contact Bridgett Robinson or call 515-273-1373. \nAs the One Economy report\, The State of Black Polk County\, points out\, there is a large disparity in homeownership for the Black/African American community. Many capable African American families are losing out on the opportunity to own their own home in a neighborhood they either grew up in or raised children in. This\, in turn\, decreases the chances of generational wealth with these families. \nFor more information on the One Economy Reports\, please visit their website! \nNFC knows that our programs may not fit a borrower’s exact situation\, but there are several other programs throughout the community that may fit your needs. Though this program is originally being launched to serve African American households\, it will be extended to other communities of color in the future.  \nThis program is made possible through the CDFI Fund and donors to date: Wells Fargo Housing Foundation\, MDRC at The Bridge\, and private donations.  \n
