The 25 Happiest Homeowners of 2020
Congratulations to the winners of the 2020 Union Plus Happy Homeowner Sweepstakes. Check out the winners and what they had to say about the mortgage program designed for union members (and family members, too)!
Earlier this year, 25 Union Plus mortgage holders were the lucky recipients of $1,000 each. Entrants were asked to describe their homeownership dream being realized; their experience as a union member mortgage holder; or what they would share with a friend about the program.

Justin Dix, HFIU, Local 2 "The process was easy. Just a couple of papers needed to be signed by my union representative. Its a good safety net incase of a layoff." |

Pamela Goodman, AFSCME "When I applied to refinance my mortgage [my lender] informed me about [the Union Plus Mortgage Program] and what a great asset! It's so nice to have something positive to reflect on when there's quite a bit of negativity going on in our world right." |

Bradley Thomley, UFCW, Local 1189 "Having the mortgage assistance available with our loan gives us a peace of mind, especially during the current situation. Hopefully we will never need to use the help but just knowing it is available is fantastic." |
