NeighborWorks Dakota Home Resources
Richard applied for down payment assistance from NeighborWorks Dakota Home Resources (NWDHR) in August 2024. As a divorced father of two children, Richard needed to find a new home.
Even as a previous homeowner Richard had trouble navigating the process of homebuying as it had been some time since his last home purchase. The NWDHR counselor was able to answer all questions and provide guidance through the process.
Eventually Richard was able to find a home in his price range in Rapid City so that his children wouldn’t have to move schools. However, with the higher prices in Rapid City, Richard needed more assistance than NWDHR could provide. His counselor had him contact GROW SD, another NeighborWorks® organization in South Dakota, for additional down payment assistance.
Richard and his family moved into their new home in late October.
Thanks to generous donors like you, United Way of the Black Hills is able to make stories like this possible!
