Oakland Housing
Andrew finally was able to buy a home, even with a small down payment. Cameron had only a fair credit score, but he got a larger home for his growing family. JoAnn treasures the supportive community she has lived in for decades. These are hardworking Michigan families whose non-stop demands on their paychecks make it challenging to find good homes in stable neighborhoods.
That's where we come in.
As a nonprofit, Oakland Housing has invested in and collaborated with communities across Wayne and Oakland counties for decades. We have built over 250 homes for families in need of better housing, offered low mortgage interest rates to middle-income families, and have worked with individuals with credit challenges to help them purchase a home.
Oakland Housing now offers the Affordability Gap Assistance Program (AGAP) for qualifying individuals and families who have found a new home they wish to purchase. AGAP is meant to lessen the financial burden and help families afford their future home.

"We saw this brand new brick home and were really impressed. When we learned that we qualified to purchase it, it was a very easy decision. We've got a very comfortable home in a good neighborhood to raise our daughter."
