There is a severe shortage of affordable rental housing in Bucks County. The rates the Housing Authority pays do not equal commercial rates, and most landlords are unwilling to rent to certificate holders. Interfaith is providing homes at Housing Authority rates, and in so doing, helping to diminish that shortage.

Rental and Lease Purchase Agreements

Interfaith provides homes for rent and purchase to low and moderate income families. A growing force in affordable housing, our partnerships continue to create more housing opportunities than ever before. As a side benefit, we create nicer communities. By filling empty houses where there were once drug dealers, for instance, Interfaith restores neighborhoods.

Home Ownership Program

In the spring of 1990, Interfaith launched its Homeownership program. So far, several low to moderate income families have purchased homes. We buy houses and sometimes build new ones, working with the prospective owners not only in rehabbing, but also in finding the most affordable mortgage. Interfaith truly  enables families to realize the "American dream."

Mortgage Counseling and Budgeting

Interfaith helps families "get off on the right foot" by helping them to establish a budget and by providing mortgage counseling to allow them to become independent, self-sufficient, prospering members of their community. We also monitor these families and assist them when necessary after home occupancy.

Furniture Collection and Distribution

Since 1991, Interfaith has dedicated its warehouse effort to helping people from the American Red Cross Homeless Shelter, as well as those families in our rental or homeownership program, and others referred by community agencies, to get the items they need to begin living in their new homes. All items are provided free of charge.
