Pathway to Homeownership

There is no equity without equal access to opportunity.

Path to Homeownership

Our path to homeownership follows the straightforward ECLT application process. An Applicant first completes the interest form (ECLT Interest Form) and submits a loan pre-approval letter from an ECLT participating lender (ECLT Lender List)

If your initial interest from meets the preliminarily eligibility requirements, you will receive an invitation to pay the application fee of $25, and complete the full application.

All paths to homeownership start with ECLT qualification

At Elevation, we work to eliminate barriers to homeownership. One way we do this is through down payment assistance (DPA) programs. We work with several DPA providers to ensure that our homeowners have an affordable mortgage. If you want to learn more about our DPA resources click on applicant resources here.
