The program helps students gain valuable skills that they otherwise wouldn't get in the classroom. They can take these newly acquired skills into the real-world and even inspire them to pursue a career field within the world of construction.

According to NeighborWorks, "the buyers must be first-time homeowners, and many have become first-generation homeowners."
