Truman Partners with Liberty Housing to Make Homeownership More Attainable

First-Time Homebuyer Guide: How to Prepare and What to Expect When Buying Your First Home

At Truman, we believe that everyone deserves a place to call home. For many Albertans, the biggest challenge to homeownership isn’t keeping up with monthly mortgage payments but saving for the initial down payment. That barrier can often put the dream of ownership out of reach.
To help bridge that gap, Truman is proud to announce an exclusive partnership with Liberty Housing Organization. Together, we are making homeownership more accessible through Liberty’s innovative Home Ownership Program, which allows qualified buyers to move into a new Truman home with as little as $1,500 down.

How the Program Works

Launched in 2015, Liberty’s Home Ownership Program uses a shared equity model to help families secure housing. Here’s how it works:

• Buyers contribute $1,500 toward their new home, while Liberty covers the remainder of the required five percent down payment.
• To qualify, buyers must have steady, permanent employment and be able to secure mortgage approval from an approved lender.
• The program is available for primary residences only, not investment properties.
• Homeowners can stay as long as they like. When they choose to sell, a small portion of the appreciation is shared with Liberty, ensuring the program can continue helping future buyers.

This model creates a sustainable cycle of affordability, helping families achieve homeownership today while keeping the door open for others tomorrow.

Truman Communities Included

Through this exclusive partnership, over 100 Truman homes are currently available across Calgary and Chestermere in some of our most desirable communities. These include Lockwood in Chelsea, The Mondrian in West District, Frontier in Kensington, and Skyview North in Skyview Ranch. Each community showcases Truman’s dedication to quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and long-term value.

Why This Matters

For Truman, this initiative is more than a program, it reflects our ongoing commitment to building better communities and making homeownership a reality for more Calgarians. By removing the biggest hurdle to ownership, we are creating opportunities for individuals and families to establish roots, build equity, and experience the pride of owning a Truman home.
