Fayetteville, NC – Clifton Owens II has always dreamed of owning his own home.“I sat back and watched all my cousins and my extended family members purchase homes,” Clifton said. “I felt really ready for that in my life.”Achieving this dream felt daunting to the former resident of Section 8 housing until his realtor told Clifton about the North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency’s Homeownership Assistance Program (HAP). The program is designed to help first-time homebuyers purchase a house in hurricane-impacted counties.
