Creating opportunity for younger generations.
WHO WE ARE
Young Family’s Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering hardworking families to attain homeownership.
We work closely with local banks and mortgage lenders to help bridge the gap for young families that experience "near misses" in qualifying for a home mortgage.
THE PROBLEM WE'RE FACING
The market is inverted, leaving many young, hardworking families unable to afford a home in Idaho.
In 2016, 75% of Kootenai County households could afford to purchase a median-priced home.
When surveyed again in 2023, that number had decreased to only 20%.
The market has inverted.
80%
OF KOOTENAI COUNTY CANNOT AFFORD A MEDIAN-PRICED HOME.
Mortgage Assistance
By working with local banks, mortgage brokers, and loan officers, the Foundation offers down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers who, despite their best efforts to save for a down payment, are unable to qualify for a loan.
