Buying a home is one milestone. Keeping it is another. At Attainable Housing Advocates, research supports every program we create. Through ongoing home affordability assessments and long-term homeowner research, we learn what helps families stay in their homes, strengthen their finances, and build lasting financial security.
Find Your ProgramA traditional home affordability assessment measures whether someone can qualify for a mortgage today. Our research looks further.
We study what happens after families move in. How do their finances change? What challenges put pressure on their budgets? Which forms of support make the biggest difference during the first years of homeownership?
By following homeowners over time, we learn where budgets actually break — and which forms of support keep families in their homes.
We don’t conduct research just for the sake of collecting data. We use every insight to improve the programs we administer and develop new ones that respond to real homeowner needs. That work has shaped programs focused on:
