We can help: Providing Affordable Housing in the Hill
In 1980 a group of residents interested in the economic progress of the Hill neighborhood of New Haven founded the Hill Development Corporation of New Haven (HDC). Since then, HDC has served as an advocate for economic development in the Hill. In addition, it has participated in that development by building and rehabilitating housing and encouraging homeownership in the Hill. HDC is currently working to rehabilitate vacant, abandoned homes in the Hill. Once these homes are rehabilitated, they will be sold to first-time homebuyers. As mentioned above, HDC has now expanded its service area to include New Haven County. Other recent and current projects include a tenant cooperative and a local day care center.
HOMEBUYER COUNSELING
If you are interested in buying a home, or if you already own your home and would like to fix it up, we can help you obtain financing. Kerri Ward, HDC s housing specialist, has vast experience working with potential homebuyers in the City of New Haven. Because buying your first home can be a very intimidating process, HDC offers homebuyer seminars. The seminars cover establishing and repairing credit, budgeting, working with a real estate agent, the mortgage application process and closings. One-on-one counseling is also available to cover these issues and others, including Refinancing, Foreclosure Prevention as well as Mortgage Default Counseling.
DOWN-PAYMENT & CLOSING COSTS GRANT PROGRAM
Anyone who is income qualified and wants to buy and live in a house located in the City of New Haven is eligible for aid from HDC’s new Grant Program. The Program will help you with your down payment, closing costs, or consolidate your debts so that your monthly payments are low, thus letting you qualify for a bank loan. In order to access this Grant Program, attendance at Pre/Post Purchase Counseling Classes is mandatory. For further information on homebuyer counseling or the Grant Program, please call HDC.
RENTAL HOUSING
A limited number of rental units are available through the Hill Development Corporation. Sixty-five units of rental housing are available throughout th e Hill neighborhood. These units were completed in March 1999 as part of a low-income housing tax credit project. Rental applications are available through Hill Housing at 210 Davenport Avenue or by calling 787-9006 For twenty years, HDC has worked to make the Hill a better home by constructing and rehabilitating affordable housing. Our success stems from our neighborhood roots and our commitment to improving the quality of life in the Hill.
