Abstract

This article reports the benefits for Hispanic families of the First time Home Buyer Program in Cache County, Utah. The program's primary mission is to enable families to become homeowners. Of the 26 workshops thus far offered, five, have been offered in Spanish to address the needs of Hispanic families when preparing to purchase a home; translators were on hand at each stage of the home buying process. Results of the program indicated Hispanic participants felt they had learned to save money when buying a home and were more prepared to purchase a house. In addition, 25% of those who purchased a home as a result of the First Time Home Buyer Program were hispanic.
