From Renter to Homeowner:
How the WISH Program Helped Samounn Achieve His Dream
Samounn moved out at a young age to build an independent life, renting ever since. Though he began his home search several years ago, the competitive market made it difficult to find the right fit. Fortunately, Samounn wasn’t in a rush—he was willing to wait for the right opportunity.
That opportunity came when he reconnected with an old high school friend who had become a realtor. After learning about Samounn’s goals, his friend introduced him to the WISH Down Payment Assistance program and connected him with Kevin at KeyPoint Credit Union.
When Samounn found out he qualified for a $32,000 WISH grant, it reignited his motivation to continue searching. Just a few weeks later, he found an affordable condo that checked all the boxes.
Thanks to the support of his realtor, KeyPoint, and the WISH program, Samounn is now a proud homeowner—proof that with the right resources and a little patience, dreams really can come true.
