"How NACA Works."

Edmonds, Molly. 16 April 2008. HowStuffWorks.com. (reprinted here 21 January 2009)

What if I offered you a mortgage with no down payment, no closing costs and no fees? Let's throw in a fixed interest rate that won't rise and fall with the market and peg it at below market rates (4.875% at press time). I'll even make you this offer if you have less-than-perfect credit and a low income. Are you interested?

Maybe you're interested but think it sounds too good to be true. You're wondering why I'm selling fairy tales when the evening news shows ordinary people fighting foreclosure, bankruptcy and economic uncertainty in the wake of subprime mortgages.

Well, it's true. I can't offer you this deal. But a nonprofit agency known as the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA) can and does offer this mortgage deal to thousands of people each year. While there are no income limits for using NACA, the group has garnered attention for lending to people that most banks would see as a risk -- people with little money in savings, an imperfect credit rating or a pile of debt.
