Housing Counseling
 
The Worcester East Side CDC offers first-time homebuyer education, financial counseling, foreclosure prevention services, and post-purchase technical assistance.  These programs provide potential buyers with classroom and individual guidance throughout the entire home purchase and ownership process.  Vital information in each of these areas is covered.  Potential buyers are connected with down payment assistance funds and mortgage lenders.  New homeowners are assisted with the location, screening and establishment of tenancies for their rental units.  Afterward, they continue to receive post-purchase counseling to ensure their continued success as new homeowners.  Additional technical assistance is offered in areas such as financial and property management, tenant/landlord issues, lead paint/home improvement loans and home/apartment searches.
 
To register for one of our free orientation classes contact Val Tourtellotte at 508-799-6942. 

 

 

Potential homeowners attend an evening seminar.
