MAYVILLE — Community Bank N.A. recently presented Chautauqua Home Rehabilitation & Improvement Corp. with $5,000 to support its First Time Homebuyer program.

The CHRIC first-time homebuyers program educates prospective Chautauqua County individuals and families looking to buy their first home. They learn about budgeting and affordability, credit reports, assembling a homebuying team, making an offer and closing. CHRIC is a HUD-approved housing counseling agency.

“We’re proud to support the CHRIC and this meaningful program to help first-time homebuyers on their exciting journey to homeownership,” Community Bank N.A. District Manager Carl Swan said. “The homebuying process can be cumbersome and the information shared throughout this program will ensure individuals are ready and prepared for every step of the process.”

Classes are offered in English and Spanish. CHRIC’s mission is to promote neighborhood stabilization, community revitalization and economic development through projects and partnerships that positively impact Chautauqua County and its residents.
