At Wright-Patt Credit Union® (WPCU®), we believe in the power of homeownership. More than just a milestone, owning your home opens the door to financial stability, wealth-building and community belonging. 

It’s why we work hard to help our members take meaningful steps toward homeownership, giving you the knowledge, tools and support you need to be ready to buy and maintain a home. 

Homeownership is Closer Than You Think: Flexible Home Financing

With the right guidance and resources, buying a home doesn’t have to feel out of reach. At WPCU, we offer specialized programs that can help, such as: 

BrightStart™ Down Payment Assistance: Saving up for a down payment can take time. With the BrightStart™ Down Payment Assistance program, you may qualify for a matching grant of up to $2,500 to put toward your down payment.* 

Pathways to Homeownership: This collaborative program provides specialized support and resources for the Northwest Dayton community. Eligible buyers receive homebuying education and guidance, plus down payment and closing cost assistance to make homeownership more accessible. 

Get in touch with our mortgage experts to learn if one of these programs, or another program from across our region, is the best fit for you. 

Open the Door to Homeownership: FREE Homebuying Education

Buying a home goes beyond just applying for a mortgage loan. WPCU offers free homebuying education to help you understand the entire process and prepare your finances for buying—and maintaining—a home.
