Homeownership Center

Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, a renter dreaming of homeownership, or a homeowner in need of home maintenance assistance and training, CDC can help. We offer grants, loans, training and other assistance to help you gain financial independence and to achieve your dreams. We have several programs to suit your needs.

Rental Housing Assistance

The Housing Choice Voucher program provides rental assistance to low-income families through Federal funds.

Real Estate Development

Wherever there is opportunity and community support, CDC  works with residents, government officials, community leaders and other partners to accomplish affordable housing development.

Small Business Lending

The Lending Department offers a variety of loan products for small businesses that are unable to qualify for bank financing. Businesses that can demonstrate professionalism, satisfactory credit, and positive cash flow, but may not have profit levels necessary for conventional banking, meet CDC's general qualifications.
