Home Ownership Assistance

Over 25 years MARK has helped more than 35 families and individuals with home ownership. We provide assistance with down payments and closing costs as well as mandatory rehab work needed to bring a structure up to code. In a region where much of the population is poor and many homes are second homes, this program brings needed assistance to those at or below 112% of HUD median income levels for Delaware County ($80,640 for a family of four in 2020).

As Barbara Puglisi said, “If it weren’t for MARK, I wouldn’t have a home, and still 22 years later I am in that home.”

If you are interested in participating in a home ownership assistance program and be included in this application to the State, please call the office at 845-586-3500 or email admin@markproject.org

We started renting our house in 2004 and purchased in January 2006, and MARK paid for the down payment and closing costs which was amazing for us. At that point those costs were, literally, through the roof. MARK gave us a great head start.
