Our First Time Homebuyer Program offers affordable home-ownership opportunities to low and moderate-income families living in Arizona. We provide financial assistance to working families who, as first-time homebuyers, can qualify for mortgages but lack the resources required for down-payment, closing costs, and/or minor repairs.

With the generous assistance of community sponsors and partners, CSA’s Home Construction Program builds several new homes each year to meet the needs of low to middle-income families looking for their first home and to revitalize neighborhoods suffering from a lack of investment.

CSA plans to begin construction on SkyVista in 2009 and complete construction in 2010.  The development is expected to consist of 44 for-sale townhomes located adjacent to SkySong, the ASU Center for Innovation.   These townhomes will replace obsolete rental housing and be an asset to the community.

As homes age, the need for rehabilitation and restoration arises. CSA is dedicated to maintaining the quality and livability of existing single family homes, so that they may continue to be safe and secure residential dwellings.

Counseling & Education

One key to long-term success for program participants is preparing themselves for the responsibility of owning a home. Our home ownership assistance program includes counseling and practical maintenance training as well as follow-up counseling after the purchase.

Down Payment/Closing Cost Funds

For many working families, the difference between renting an apartment and owning a home is securing the necessary funds to cover down payment and closing cost requirements. For families who qualify, CSA can help overcome these obstacles to homeownership. Our trained counselors also ensure that first-time buyers do not fall victim to predatory lending practices.
