| Participating
Employers
Starting in 2000 with one employer-assisted housing (EAH) program
at System Sensor, the initiative has grown dramatically. In mid-2005,
more than 40 employers have committed to participate. While most
employers follow the same homeownership model, providing down payment
assistance and homebuyer counseling (outsourced to local nonprofit
partner), each program is customized to meet the needs of the employer
and its workers. Following is a list of some companies offering
an EAH benefit.
