Wider Path Home Foundation
OUR MISSION
Wider Path Home is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Our mission is to equip families by providing them with a solid pathway to achieve homeownership. We accomplish this by providing the following:
- top-tier financial literacy training,
- connecting them with conscientious lenders, and
- offering flexible down payment assistance that can even be paired with other sources,
guiding both individuals and couples every step of the way to financing their home.
Homes are not just buildings where we are protected, but sacred places where we are rooted and where we can grow and thrive. At Wider Path Home, we make homeownership inclusive so that everyone, especially those who have been historically excluded from this very important investment can also have an opportunity to build generational wealth in a home where their heart lives.
