Testimonials

"NeighborWorks made my piece of the American dream come true. They helped me develop a budget, save money and showed me how to clear up my credit. Today, I own my own home. As someone who once lived homeless, in various shelters around the city, having my own home is a treasure I will always cherish and forever be grateful to NeighborWorks."

"When we tried to refinance our ARM mortgage we ran into problems...

our adjustable rate ballooned to an additional $500 a month. We were in real trouble trying to pay back taxes and about to foreclose. We would lose our house, our pets and the life that we made there. That's when we found NeighborWorks. Things improved as soon as we walked through the door – our counselor found us a solution that enabled us to comfortably pay our monthly mortgage. Her compassion made the difference and gave us the peace of mind we needed."

"I always remember that needs come before your wants and try to incorporate that concept in my everyday life. The Youth Financial Literacy Program program inspired me to be better fit financially and encouraged me to save my money for the things I really need, like a car to get me to school. Now I go into the bank and understand what options I have and the resources that are available to me."

"I was trying to clear up my credit and buy a house. NeighborWorks went through my credit report line by line and helped me settle with creditors, in most cases for less than half of what was owed. My counselor at NeighborWorks even helped me obtain a loan to help me pay for my closing costs – she went over and above to help me understand the process and make sure I closed successfully – she even came to my closing!"
