MyMoneyPath: More than a Place to Live.
Leveraging the Purchase of a First Home as an Investment in the Borrower's Financial Future.
In May 2011, OHFA enhanced the current model of pre-closing education by introducing a pilot post-purchase financial planning and counseling to equip homebuyers to set goals and monitor their progress towards their goals during the first year of homeownership. The free, online financial health "check-up" is provided to all homebuyers purchasing homes through the First Time Homebuyer program who are required to complete pre-purchase education. The MyMoneyPath program is grounded in an ongoing partnership with the OHFA First-time Homebuyer Program and Office of Affordable Housing Research with Dr. Stephanie Moulton at The Ohio State University (OSU), John Glenn School of Public Affairs. Dr. Moulton has been awarded competitive funding to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of MyMoneyPath through an Outreach and Engagement grant at OSU, and from the Center for Financial Security at the University of Wisconsin.
