Choctaw County Hosts Ribbon-Cutting For New Homes

The Choctaw Nation held a ribbon-cutting for 75 new Lease to Purchase homes in Durant. The LEAP program assists families with credit issues. Families can get a new home for $550 a month through the program. If the residents keep current with their lease payments, they can convert them to mortgages in the 16th year. There are now 500 LEAP homes in the Choctaw Nation.
