Employee Home Advantage is a workplace benefit that gives you a clear, supported path to homeownership — with guidance, vetted professionals, and real financial assistance from your employer.
Ask your employer if they're enrolled in EHA — or share this page with HR.
Rising rents, stalled wages, and the complexity of buying a home have left millions of working Americans stuck renting — not because they can't afford it long-term, but because they can't get over the initial barrier.
Saving while renting is a near-impossible cycle for most workers. EHA breaks that cycle with employer-funded assistance.
Most first-time buyers don't know where to start. EHA connects you with vetted professionals who guide you through every step.
EHA creates one — a clear, structured timeline with defined milestones so you always know where you stand.
Employees who achieve homeownership gain something more than a house. They gain financial security, stability for their family, and the ability to plan long-term. EHA is built to make that possible — through the workplace you're already committed to.

Remain employed, participate in the program, and work with EHA's partner professionals to prepare for homeownership — credit readiness, savings goals, neighborhood research.

No. EHA is always 100% voluntary. You choose whether to enroll, and there's no obligation to purchase a home. The program is designed to be a resource — not a requirement.
EHA connects you to existing down payment assistance options, including employer-funded programs. Think of it like a 401k match, except for your home. You earn it by staying and participating in the program.
Primary residences purchased through EHA's licensed partner network. Program-specific details on eligible property types will be provided during your enrollment process.
EHA is geography-agnostic. Program participation generally follows your employment, not your location. Specific scenarios are addressed in the program agreement.
If your employer is enrolled in EHA, ask HR about getting started. If they're not, share this page — we'd love to have the conversation with them.
