John Ince, President of CAAR joins Les Sinclair to talk about the changes to the guidelines for its signature program available to local residents who are employed in important public service roles.

Now in its 10th year, the CAAR Workforce Housing Fund (WHF) was established by the real estate community and is administered by Piedmont Housing Alliance. WHF supports fire fighters, nurses, police officers and teachers who want to own a home near their work but find their income levels do not meet lending criteria. This vital community partnership helps eligible homebuyers with downpayment and closing costs. Since its establishment, WHF has helped 46 families become homeowners, but the pace of applicants has dwindled in recent years.
