Becoming a home owner was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I believe that without NHSSF, this would not have been possible. A little after two years of being a homeowner I received a call from NHSSF on Valentine’s Day informing me that I was selected for the Solar Panel Program. The best Valentine’s Day gift ever.

With the help from my friends… Counseling assistance mediates towards housing stability
When the Miami musician H. Rojas reached out to NHSSF, his loan was in default and he was afraid of losing his home. Through the Keep People Housed initiative -powered by Wells Fargo- and the Housing Stability Counseling Program, both designed by NeighborWorks America and implemented through NHSSF, Housing Counseling Agencies (HCAs) like us, help homeowners affected by the COVID-19 pandemic find the light at the end of the tunnel.
With Americans’ interest in homeownership high, NHSSF helps South Florida residents secure homes
A new survey from NeighborWorks America shows that about half of adults (49%) are likely to seek out homeownership education in the next one or two years, and nearly 9 in 10 people agree that homeownership is important. Neighborhood Housing Services of South Florida offers the housing counseling and services people need to reach their goal of homeownership.
NHSSF, a NeighborWorks network organization, created 51 new homeowners in 2021-2022, as shown in its fiscal year report (from July 2021 to June 2022). Interest in homeownership remains high despite the shortage of affordable housing in recent years, as evidenced by the fact that 523 people completed NHSSF 8-hour Homebuyer Certified Workshop for first-time homebuyers during the referred period.
