About Us

Founded in 2008, Atlanta-based Workforce Resource developed an electronic platform to help consumers acquire scarce affordable housing in U.S. urban job centers, making it possible for school systems, hospitals and police departments, as well as corporations and small businesses to recruit and retain employees. Those protectors, educators, healthcare and other service workers who are willing to “drive til they qualify” often endure long daily commutes that exacerbate traffic congestion, create air pollution and otherwise diminish their quality of life and that of their families and communities.

Workforce Resource licenses its proprietary Down Payment Resource℠ online service to professionals across the housing industry to promote awareness of, increase access to and simplify prospective homebuyers’ applications for downpayment assistance programs. Using this innovative service, real estate agents, home builders, lenders and housing counselors can quickly match first-time homebuyers with available funding, ensuring those eligible for assistance are provided with maximum opportunities for home ownership, while they strengthen client relationships and increase sales.

Launched during second quarter of 2009 in metro Atlanta (the country’s eighth largest Metropolitan Statistical Area), Down Payment Resource supports consumers who want to buy affordable housing in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties, as well as in the cities of Atlanta, Marietta and Sandy Springs. Workforce Resource is building a national platform to expand coverage to the 250 largest MSAs in the U.S. starting in the Southeast and in California.
