Progressive Insurance on Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast

This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance, a company committed to helping people move forward and live fully. You know, when you're thinking about buying a home, you're not just buying a house, you're buying a neighborhood, a commute, a school system, everything. And at the same time, you're thinking long-term. What's this going to look like in a few years from now? Is this somewhere you can grow into? Is it going to work for your day-to-day life? And I think that's the part that can feel really overwhelming. Trying to flash forward and imagine your life one, two, ten years from now. Progressive understands the hurdles first-time homebuyers are facing, from housing affordability issues to finding the right tools and knowledge. Progressive's Open the House initiative is committed to breaking down these barriers and making first-time homebuying a little easier. Since 2024, Progressive has committed more than $16 million toward this goal. As one example, this year they're expanding their up-payment program, now in year two, by offering down payment assistance of up to $13,500 each to at least 200 eligible first-time home buyers.
