Housing Programs
Crown Program
Holy Name Housing Corporation (HNHC) has constructed over 200 single-family homes for families willing to participate in a homeownership program.
The Crown Program consists of three, four, and five-bedroom homes with full basements and garages serving families whose income does not exceed 60% of the area median income. These are scattered sites located predominately in Northeast Omaha.
This program offers an affordable rental home, a homeownership incentive account for down payment assistance if a home is purchased, and basic life skills and financial education.
Participation in the program requires tenants to attend educational workshops annually learning how to create a budget, financially prepare for 'life happens moments', learn maintenance to prepare for owning a home and learning about asset building strategies.
The ultimate goal for this program is to prepare tenants in becoming homeowners!
THE WAITLIST IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR THIS PROGRAM.
Affordable Senior Housing
HNHC identified the need for senior housing in the area we serve. As populations are aging, many seniors are unable to care for their homes. Creating safe and accessible homes allows seniors to age in place. Our support services for residents include a variety of resource referrals.
HNHC has built and currently manages over 100 senior housing units. These units are a combination of cottage style, two- and three-bedroom units and a 37-unit apartment building. To be eligible for tenancy in senior housing residents must be aged 55 or older and have income that does not exceed 60% of the area median income.
THE WAITLIST IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR THIS PROGRAM.
Shared Equity Program
The Shared Equity Program (SEP) is a program in which HNHC and the tenant share in the property equity upon completion of the program and purchase of the home.
This program serves families whose income does not exceed 120% of the area median income.Throughout the lease period, the tenant prepares to obtain a mortgage by working with support services on budgeting, credit, and other homeownership training. Homeownership and equity transfer is the goal.
At the end of a ten-year lease period, provided the tenant is not in default under any of the terms or conditions of the lease, the tenant has the option to purchase the home and share in the equity.
THE WAITLIST IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR THIS PROGRAM.
