This is an acronym for Springfield Home Ownership Program and (Eugene) Homeowner Assistance Program. These assistance programs were created to encourage home ownership in Springfield and Eugene by assisting low income first time homebuyers with their real estate purchase.

The programs are designed to help first time home buyers with the down payment and closing costs in their purchase.
