Finding a Home in Biloxi, MS

For three years, Thai and Duc searched for a home near their children and grandchildren in Biloxi. Whenever one became available they worried that their mortgage application would be denied due to their age, so they just did not apply. They turned to their church and friends who recommended Hope Credit Union. “Because of my age, I thought I could not get a house,” said Duc. Thai and Duc worked with the team at HOPE’s Biloxi branch and learned that age could not be used to evaluate a borrower’s ability to repay. In short order, HOPE financed a new home close to their family. “This house is a gift from God. It’s a miracle” said Duc.
