Information:
The Community Development Division's goal is to revitalize Ogden's neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are the building blocks of cities. The health of our city depends on the vitality of our neighborhoods. Ogden City believes that its neighborhoods should be "attractive, cohesive, diverse and safe environments for working, shopping, and raising a family." We reach this goal by helping families buy homes, offering loans to fix up existing homes, building new homes, tearing down abandoned buildings and by helping neighbors get to know and work with one another. Any dream can be reached if we work together. Give us a call (629-8940) and let's see how we can work together to improve your neighborhood.
The Own In Ogden Program
Established in 1988, the Ogden City Own in Ogden Down Payment Assistance Program has helped over 1,000 households realize the dream of home ownership. This home ownership program is offered in specifically-targeted areas of Ogden City, providing $3,000 in zero interest, deferrered payment loans that decline to a complete credit over a five-year residency requirement. In specifically-targeted areas,an increased amount of $5,000 is offered as down payment and closing cost assistance to home buyers.
