Overview

NHS of New Haven is committed to the revitalization of New Haven's disadvantaged neighborhoods through affordable homeownership development, homeownership counseling and education, and community engagement. Our accomplishments go beyond fixing our community's physical structures - we also help homeowners to sustain their investments.

 

Our mission is to position New Haven's neighborhoods to succeed by increasing homeownership; making homes functional, beautiful and affordable; and helping residents take charge of their neighborhoods. We believe that increased owner-occupancy rates, educated homebuyers, and rehabilitated houses will produce stable, revitalized neighborhoods that our clients will be proud to call home. Our HomeOwnership Center provides extensive pre- and post-purchase counseling, along with extensive foreclosure intervention assistance. We also offer hands-on classes in our LEED® Platinum Home Improvement and Energy Conservation Laboratory.

 

NHS accomplishes several goals simultaneously. By acquiring and rehabilitating vacant, abandoned houses and selling them to low-income first-time buyers, NHS provides affordable homeownership opportunities while creating stability on a block. As a community-based organization, NHS responds directly to the needs and concerns of neighborhood residents, which we incorporate in our planning for future programs and initiatives.
