Opening Doors: The PWR Charity Foundation Down Payment Assistance Program
The Opening Doors First-Time Buyer Down Payment Assistance Program is the Charity Foundation’s first major housing initiative. Our membership understands that the housing affordability crisis in southern California is a significant barrier to homeownership. For this reason, the “Opening Doors” program was created and is supported by PWR members.
The program’s objectives are to…
  • Help “challenged but worthy” first-time buyers to bridge the down payment gap

  • Educate buyers about the financial obligations of holding a mortgage, thus making the dream of home ownership a reality for families in northern Orange and southern Los Angeles counties.
