ROME, NY – FEBRUARY 10, 2025: AmeriCU Credit Union believes everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve homeownership, which is why AmeriCU is proud to participate in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York’s Homebuyer Dream Program (HDP) *, Homebuyer Dream Program Plus (HDP Plus) *, and the New Homebuyer Dream Program Wealth Builder (HDP Wealth Builder) *.
These programs provide essential financial assistance to eligible first-time homebuyers, offering grants of up to $30,000 per household to help with down payments, closing costs, and counseling services. These programs also offer support for first generation homebuyers and those in qualifying communities.
“For many, buying a home feels out of reach due to financial barriers,” said Mary Leuthauser, AmeriCU’s AVP of Mortgage Loan Operations. “By participating in these programs, we are helping first-time homebuyers overcome those challenges and turn their dreams into a reality.”
This year, with access to all three programs, AmeriCU can help even more individuals and families take the next step toward homeownership. Owning a home is more than just having a place to live—it’s about stability, financial security, and building a future. AmeriCU remains committed to helping members through every step of their home journey.
