The Family First Housing Program is designed to assist parents in learning how to become responsible homeowners. CWAH offers a rental apartment below market rate for a maximum of 2 years to low- to moderate-income families who want to transition from renting an apartment to owning their own home. Tenants will establish a savings account and attend home ownership workshops to better prepare and educate themselves for responsible home ownership.
