Hawaii Home Ownership Center

Education, information and support to create successful first-time homeowners.

MISSION

We provide education, information and support to create successful first-time homeowners. By addressing barriers and increasing rates of home ownership we aim to build stronger families and communities throughout Hawaii.

KEY SERVICES PROVIDED

Hawaii Home Ownership Center (HHOC) believes that a safe and stable home is critical to the success of local families. Our program focuses on establishing that stability through homeownership via preparation classes & individual coaching. Members of our program learn about the purchase process, buyer resource programs, and receive coaching to become mortgage ready. Once they become homeowners, post-purchase services are available as we believe sustaining ownership is just as important as attaining it.

We initiated additional programs via non-profit affliates HHOC Mortgage and HHOC Housing and Land Trust. They provide access to affordable fi nancing options and preservation of affordable homeownership respectively.

All of our initiatives open doors to homeownership particularly for those of low to moderate income.
