Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) creates opportunities for people to live in affordable homes, improve their lives, and strengthen their neighborhoods. They do this by educating and preparing new homeowners for success, lending to help people buy, fix and keep their homes, sustaining homeownership through foreclosure prevention services, preserving, rehabbing, and investing in housing, and building robust and enduring community partnerships.
NHS’s comprehensive housing counseling services provide homeowners of color with pre and post-purchase counseling, financial education, foreclosure prevention, and access to capital. NHS supports neighborhoods, particularly communities of color, to attain more significant development, investment, financial equity, and housing security that will breathe vibrancy and stability to low-to-moderate-income areas across the Chicago region.
