Community Housing Capital lends exclusively to members of the NeighborWorks network. This coalition of over 240 community development organizations is chartered by NeighborWorks America which provides access to technical assistance, grants, and regular assessments of organizational strength and capacity. NeighborWorks network organizations provide a wide array of housing and other services to their communities including improved homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income families, financial education, rehabilitation of dilapidated properties, and the construction and preservation of affordable rental homes across the nation. Moreover, NeighborWorks organizations strengthen communities by offering on-site programs that include health and nutrition intervention, education services, and workforce development opportunities. They have proven track records for positive housing outcomes and have built-in mechanisms, such as formal and informal surveys for obtaining and incorporating feedback from the communities and the economically disadvantaged individuals they serve. Their boards of directors include multiple representatives of their communities. Learn More about NeighborWorks America.
