The partnership with Freddie Mac is a wonderful opportunity for Augustans and an example of the quality of partnerships the Augusta Neighborhood Improvement Corporation can create to benefit Augusta. Every family has the right to a decent and safe home. Every individual has skills that can be built upon. Every child has the right to grow up in a safe neighborhood.
Every neighborhood has the right to receive community investment.
The ANIC will coordinate the initiative and provide essential financial and support services for homeownership. These services include a full range of outreach efforts, downpayment assistance, and education on the entire home buying process. The Augusta Initiative is the latest Freddie Mac effort in Augusta, Georgia. Those that stayed in the neighborhood and weathered the storm are now feeling that old pride stirring up inside of them. Borrowers can cover the rest of the mandatory 3 percent downpayment through grants, gifts, unsecured loans, or Individual Development Accounts.
