Bank Program Aims To Boost Atlanta Homeownership

If you’re looking to buy (or keep) a home in Atlanta, a new bank program will be available to city residents as part of an outreach plan. Wells Fargo, along with NeighborWorks America and its network members, has committed $6 million to boosting homeownership in metro Atlanta.

The investment is particularly earmarked for homes in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties.

NeighborhoodLIFT Program To Aid Homeownership In Atlanta

“This investment from Wells Fargo will help provide well-deserved stability and economic security for hardworking families and individuals who dream of homeownership,” Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in a statement. “There is a critical need in our community to create equitable opportunities for everyone who desires to live in Atlanta. I am thankful to Wells Fargo, NeighborWorks and Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, Inc. for working together to bring this innovative program back to our residents.”

Overall, Wells Fargo has presided over nearly 60 LIFT program events around the United States since 2012.

Hundreds of homebuyers will converge on downtown Atlanta on May 4 and 5 to attend the NeighborhoodLIFT event from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Atlanta Convention Center at AmericasMart. Thats’ when grant eligibility will be determined to buy a home in the counties of Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, or Gwinnett.

While registration is full, walk-ins are welcome to meet with a nonprofit specialist while funds are available for reservation. Those intending to walk in should be prepared with documents required to reserve funds posted at www.andpi.org/lift.
