Journey to Homeownership Class(Residents of Polk and Linn Counties in Iowa)

Ready to own a home but not sure where to start?

Our Journey to Homeownership (J2H) program provides educational tools and resources to support community members who are looking to become homeowners. The core part of the J2H initiative is a down payment assistance program. Our actions and work are in support of the One Economy Blueprint for Action. https://www.tdcdsm.org/_files/ugd/55de21_c425a0fb45d74889b6ca2eb8b43e7d96.pdf

Why J2H Matters

The One Economy report, The State of Black Polk County, highlights a significant disparity in homeownership rates for African American families. Many capable buyers are missing the opportunity to purchase homes in neighborhoods where they grew up, raised children, or have deep community ties — limiting the potential for generational wealth.

Join an upcoming virtual to learn more! We’ll cover the homebuying process, real challenges first-time buyers face, and how J2H can support you every step of the way.

J2H is focused on expanding homeownership in Polk and Linn Counties — and you could be next.
