Our Testimonials

I am a single parent of a 2022 high school graduate that was long overdue in buying a home. Since 2009, I was a part of the Neighborhood Recovery Community Development program. I had to renew the home buying certificate each year since I was not ready to purchase a home. For the last 34 years, I’ve wanted to own my own home, however the timing was never right. The NRCDC process was thorough and pain free. NRCDC provided me with good advice to help me get my credit straightened out and to prepare myself for the journey to home ownership.

I attended the workshop and learned about how much financial assistance was out there for anyone that wanted to buy a home. Especially First-Time Homeowners! Being a young parent I had no idea that this type of assistance was out there for the grabs. My parents were young parents and did not receive that financial education/knowledge about home buying. Although they did purchase a home for their children. My parents never taught me about the process and financial wealth. Attending this workshop started my path towards homeownership.
