MAHA Housing Hub

December 20, 2023 – Last week, MHP’s ONE Mortgage hit a milestone: 25,000 low- and moderate-income families have bought their first home with ONE Mortgage! This achievement reminds us of where it all started. It was 1991, the SoftSecond loan program had just launched, and Florence Hagins wanted to buy her dream home.

December 9, 2021 - Dorchester, MA - Just a little over three years ago, MAHA celebrated its 30,000 graduate from its first-time homebuyer and homeowner education classes. This month, after a period of unprecedented growth combined with a pandemic that forced innovations in the delivery of the classes, MAHA is announcing that it has surpassed the 40,000 graduate mark.

As 2020 winds to close, a couple of things are clear. COVID-19 is still with us and and a return to our pre-pandemic patterns is not wise. And our live Zoom-based homebuyer and homeowner classes are popular! We are on track to graduate more homebuyers than at any time in our 30 year history of offering homeownership education. That is why this decision is an easy one. MAHA will continue to offer a full schedule of live Zoom classes through, at least, June 2021 and perhaps beyond. Sign up today.
