3. STORY OF HOME LOAN
• Back in the early 1990s, the city of seattle faced a challenge. due to the high costs of living in
the city, police and fire department employees were forced to live in surrounding suburbs and
neighbouring cities, resulting in lengthier commutes. Hence proximity—was an issue
• To help solve this, the city of seattle was the first employer to adopt in 1994 the hometown
home loan program, an employer-assisted housing benefit that helps employees of participating
companies become homeowners
• the hometown home loan program helps both employers and employees. it enables employers to
offer a low-cost, high-reward benefit to their overall benefits package, and employees get both
financial help and real estate education to make smarter home buying decisions
