Hawaii HomeOwnership Center:
American Savings Bank Promotes Homeownership and Strong Communities

Buying a home and clearing the financial, emotional and legal hurdles involved can sometimes be intimidating, especially for first-time home buyers. The new Hawaii HomeOwnership Center (HHOC) hopes to make the process easier. As a Center Sponsor, American Savings Bank will help promote the HHOC’s mission. The HHOC hopes to substantially increase the number of successful homeowners by reaching out to low- and moderate-income families who may believe that homeownership is out of reach. The Center offers all potential first-time home buyers in Hawaii free home-buying seminars and workshops, one-on-one counseling and down-payment assistance.

Increasing rates of homeownership can help us build stronger families and communities throughout the state of Hawaii, and American Savings Bank is proud to be part of the project. The HHOC is open on Oahu, with services expanding to Neighbor Islands in the future.
