Homeownership is called the American dream, and for good reason.

For one thing, it’s great to have a place to call your own, where you and your family can feel comfortable and safe. Homeownership can be an important part of your financial plan for the future. Owning a home is generally a sound investment and the homeowner may realize a tax benefit, enjoy a stable housing cost and experience the pride of being a homeowner.

Homeownership is good for Portsmouth citizens and for our entire community. It is a critical component in creating healthy and viable neighborhoods. That’s why we offer programs and assistance that can help make the dream of owning a home come true for you.
