WAVE serves their clients in a unique way by preparing individuals and families to be emotionally, physically and financially fit to own a home before they even qualify for purchase. This approach helps many qualifying participants purchase a home with built-in equity at closing by connecting them with other resources, like the Housing Authority City of Pittsburgh Second Soft Mortgage Program. Because of this approach, WAVE graduates have been highly successful maintaining their homes and the finances to support it.
Many of our graduates continue to attend our education programs even after they purchase their homes which helps them stay on track as they navigate life’s challenges.
