Buying a home can feel impossible—especially if you’re the first in your family to do it. On this episode of MSR Business, we speak with Lance Elliott, a community development loan officer at Frandsen Bank & Trust, and representatives from PRG, Inc., a Minneapolis-based nonprofit dedicated to eliminating racial disparities in homeownership.
Lance shares how he supports first-time and first-generation buyers through one-on-one advising and access to special-purpose financing and down payment assistance programs. He’s also a certified HomeStretch instructor, helping clients build financial confidence before they buy.
Representatives from PRG break down their mission to combine affordable housing development with education to ensure all people and neighborhoods can thrive. Together, they offer a clear roadmap for new homebuyers—especially those navigating this journey for the first time.
