A clear, supported pathway from renting to owning — built for long-term success.

CIT Right at Home & Development partnered with Right @ Home #1 Tenant-to-Owner Program is designed to help renters become confident, prepared homeowners through education, guidance, and access to modern housing opportunities.

Our program removes common barriers to homeownership by providing structured support, financial education, credit restoration, and a rent credit savings model — all in one place. Participants are supported before, during, and after the home purchase to promote stability and long-term success.

Program Overview

A Step-by-Step Path to Homeownership

(How It Works)

Step 7: Aftercare & Mentorship

After home purchase, participants receive up to one year of continued support and mentorship. This includes guidance on maintaining the home, managing finances, and navigating challenges, helping homeowners stay stable and confident beyond closing.

Program Timeline

Most participants complete the program within 6-12 months, though timelines vary based on individual readiness, financial goals, and housing availability.

Why We’re Different

CIT Right at Home & Development partnered with Right @ Home #1 offers a comprehensive, all-in-one approach to homeownership that goes beyond traditional education-only programs. Participants receive guided support at every stage — from HUD certified financial education and credit restoration to accessing modern, energy-efficient housing portfolio. Our rent credit savings model rewards consistency and helps participants build funds toward ownership, while our approved network of lenders, real estate professionals, and community partners ensures a smooth and informed process. Most importantly, support doesn’t stop at closing — post-purchase mentorship and aftercare help families remain stable, confident, and successful homeowners long after they receive their keys.

Financial & Credit Readiness

We help participants build a strong financial foundation for homeownership through education, coaching, and personalized credit support. From budgeting and savings to addressing credit challenges and reducing debt, this phase is designed to increase confidence, improve credit profiles, and prepare participants for long-term financial stability — not just the home purchase.

Modern & Energy Efficient Housing Access

Participants gain access to quality, modern, and energy-efficient housing opportunities that prioritize comfort, affordability, and long-term value. Our approach focuses on stable housing options that reduce utility costs, promote pride of ownership, and support healthier, more sustainable living environments for families and individuals.

Support Beyond Closing

Homeownership doesn’t end at closing, and neither does our support. Participants receive continued guidance through post-purchase mentorship and aftercare designed to help new homeowners navigate responsibilities, protect their investment, and remain confident and successful throughout their first year of ownership and beyond.
