On behalf of the City of Deerfield Beach and the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority, we would like to congratulate Alexander Calvo, a Purchase Assistance recipient on the purchase of his first home with the use of the Department of Housing and Urban Development HOME Program.

Alex Calvo is a Low Income family house hold and received funding to assist with the down payment and closing costs of the purchase of his home.

The application process started in February, 2016 with the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority and Mr. Calvo closed on his home on March 25, 2016.  Grants to states and units of general local government, like the City of Deerfield are used to implement local housing strategies designed to increase homeownership and affordable housing opportunities for very low, low and moderate income households.

We are excited to have been able to be a part of Mr. Calvo’s journey and knowing that homeownership is still the “linchpin” in today’s society. Owning a home serves as a long-term asset that benefits the borrower, the community and the neighborhood by realizing the American Dream to live, work and play in the City of Deerfield Beach.
