The study team will then contact those potential homebuyers to explore study participation and complete an informed consent agreement, an eligibility assessment, and baseline survey. To achieve 7,000 enrolled study participants, the intake and eligibility assessment will be conducted with up to 17,500 potential study participants over a period of 12 months. To achieve 17,500 potential study participants, lenders will contact approximately 87,500 customers.
