Millennial Becomes First Time Homeowner and Landlord with Support from Connecticut CDFI (OFN Story)

At 23 with no renting experience, Rebecka never thought home ownership was possible for her. Nevertheless, she took a leap of faith to see what nearby Housing Development Fund (HDF(New Window)) in Stamford, Connecticut, could do for her. With guidance from her HDF advisor, Rebecka successfully navigated the process of buying a multifamily home through HDF’s ‘Live Where You Work’ (LWYW) lending product.
