CAFA helps families move from renting to owning through guided preparation, responsible pathways, and community-aligned programs that strengthen financial readiness and support sustainable, long-term homeownership.
We help you become mortgage ready with a clear plan, budgeting structure, and step-by-step milestones, similar to proven counseling-based models.
We offer multiple options that can include down payment assistance navigation and lease-to-own style transitions where available, always with clear rules and consumer protections.
When appropriate, CAFA can support long-term affordability structures that preserve access for future families, inspired by community land trust principles.
At CAFA, our work is centered on helping families move from renting to owning through preparation, clarity, and long-term support. These reflections come from individuals who participated in our programs and experienced the process firsthand.
