Almost Home
Almost Home is designed for people who are thinking about homeownership and want to take the next step with confidence. Whether you’re ready to apply for an affordable home today or you’re still working toward your goals, this program can help you get there.
Through Almost Home, you’ll gain valuable information about banking, credit, budgeting, homeownership, and what to expect during the application process. You’ll learn practical tips, build your financial knowledge, and connect with resources that can help you create a stronger foundation for your future.
As an added benefit, if you complete the program and become a Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity homeowner within three years, the time you spent in Almost Home will count toward your required sweat equity hours.
Your journey to homeownership starts long before you receive the keys. Let Almost Home help you prepare for what comes next.
