Dollar Bank Community Development

For more than 150 years, Dollar Bank has helped individuals and families fulfill their dream of owning a home.

Our success is founded in a dedicated staff that is knowledgeable of current marketplace issues affecting low and moderate income communities. From the start, our experienced counselors will work with you, one-on-one, to provide the resources you need to make obtaining a mortgage easier and to help you select the best mortgage option for you.

We can make home ownership possible with down payment and closing cost assistance, credit enhancement and repair as well as training for home ownership. Even once you're in your new home, our counselors are available if you should have any questions. Not only do we want to help you achieve home ownership, we want you to preserve it.
