Richland County resident praises county homeownership assistance program
Summary
A Richland County resident praised the Home Ownership Assistance Program for organized, patient customer service that helped them buy a move-in ready home, saying the support let their family build wealth and urging others not to be discouraged.
A Richland County resident praised the Richland County Home Ownership Assistance Program, saying it "was very helpful to us" and crediting staff with "great customer service" that helped their family buy a move-in ready home.
The resident said program staff were "very organized, neat, and diligent," and that their patience and timeliness "freed us up to think about things beyond what our normal scope of our finances would allow." As a result, the resident said, the family was able to purchase "a house that is more live in ready instead of a fixer upper."
"Purchasing a home is exciting because now our family gets to build wealth," the resident said, adding that the new house gives them "a space that we can call our own." Acknowledging that "home buying in general... just feels intimidating," the resident urged others: "Don't be afraid to dream."
The transcript contains no indication of a formal vote or action related to the comments. The remarks emphasize the perceived practical benefits of the county program — customer service, financial assistance that broadened options, and confidence-building for prospective buyers — and encourage others who may doubt their eligibility to apply.
