The Nehemiah Program:

  • Since 1997, The Nehemiah Program has helped provided over $1 billion in gift funds to more than 300,000 families nationwide – making us the most trusted and respected downpayment assistance provider in the nation.
  • In April 2004, researchers from the Milken Institute released the first study of its kind on Downpayment Assistance Programs (DAP) - specifically recipients of Nehemiah Corporation's DAP - confirming that The Nehemiah Program has become a vital economic tool for helping low- to moderate-income families reach that dream and become homeowners.
  • Between 1997-2003, Nehemiah’s portfolio of 115,000 primarily low- to moderate-income households saw their home equity rise by an aggregate total of over $2 billion – an average of more than $18,000 per household.

"Our program has helped bridge the affordability gap, providing needed private
funds and helping families generate real wealth through homeownership."
- Scott Syphax, President and CEO, Nehemiah Corporation of America
