Success Stories: First Time Home Buyer
Cateena Dalton came to the Housing Partnership in the fall of 2005. Due to the
high prices of homes in Chester County, she was seeking out information and
financial assistance for the purchase of a home of her own. She was pleased with
what the program had to offer and applied.
When asked what she thought of the process, Cateena admitted that she was
nervous but found the program to be informative and the staff to be very
knowledgeable. With the study guides provided in her counseling sessions, she
appreciated the opportunity to review these references at her own pace and was
reassured that her questions would always be answered.
When asked why she chose to purchase her home with the help of the Housing
Partnership, she stated, “It was a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to utilize
the down payment and closing cost assistance so that I could afford the purchase
of a new single home.”

The advice Cateena wishes to give to all future homeowners who participate in the program is, “You get as much out of it as you put into it. If
you are willing to follow the advice of the counselors, you will be able to purchase a home of your own.” When asked if she and her
daughter enjoyed their new home, she promptly said, “We love it!”
Dear Sheri,
Thank you for all that you did to educate us
and help us to buy our first home!!! We love
our home and are so excited to be here! We
really appreciate the valuable information
that you gave us and we were very glad that
you attended our settlement too! It was so
much more peaceful and stress-free
because you were there looking out for us
and answering any questions that we had!
Thank you again!!!
