As part of the 8z4Life program, we’re proud to launch Keys4Life, an initiative that provides grants to first time buyers to help them realize their dreams of owning a home. This support is through dual paths: financial education on the intricacies of homeownership and the steps to get there; paired with real financial support provided by 8z and its partners.
We have created a $250,000 fund to help with closing costs and prepaid expenses to bridge the often-small gap that may hinder first time buyers.
