The Powerhouse Path to Ownership

Every legacy starts with a single, powerful decision. Whether you are navigating the coastal markets of Orange County, the growing communities of the Coachella Valley, or anywhere across the great state of California, Powerhouse 9.5.16 is here to bridge the gap between your dream and your front door.
Step 1: Preparation & Knowledge

We believe the strongest foundation is to build education on homebuying. Powerhouse 9.5.16 serves as your primary access to resources, counseling, and homebuying programs. 
Step 2: The Powerhouse Advantage

Why choose a nonprofit partner? Because our "profit" is your stability.

  • Reinvesting in You: Unlike for-profit brokers, we pour our earnings back into the Powerhouse 9.5.16 cause and mission to provide affordable housing and down payment assistance for aspiring homeowners.
  • Advocacy for the Non-Traditional: We look past the rigid boxes of big banks. If you have unique income or a complex financial background, we fight to find the path that fits you.
  • A Statewide Mission: Our doors are open to all aspiring homeowners in California. No matter the county, we provide the same high-standard advocacy and care.
Step 3: Accessing the Right Program

We don’t just offer loans; we offer the specific key that fits your lock:

  • Entry-Level Pathways: We offer affordable housing with flexible credit and lower down payment options for low- to moderate-income families.
  • The First-Time Advantage: Specialized programs and assistance specifically for those opening their very first door.
  • Government-Backed Security: Leveraging FHA and VA programs to provide accessible standards for families and veterans.
  • Premier & Jumbo Financing: Competitive solutions for high-value California properties and refinances that exceed standard limits.
Step 4: Closing the Deal

After we decide on what home loan solution is the best fit for you and your family, we will walk you through the homebuying process to ensure that when you reach the closing table, you do so with dignity and confidence.
Affordable homeownership is the ultimate 'Access' point in our POWERHOUSE 9.5.16 Pledge. We are here to ensure that the door isn't just open; it's yours to walk through.
