Home Buyer Pre-Purchase Program
Harlem CDC is a HUD-certified housing counseling agency that provides one-on-one pre-purchase counseling to first-time home buyers. Topics covered in pre-purchase counseling include financial management, evaluating credit, prequalifying and loan approval, shopping for a home, financing options, finalizing a loan, and the closing process.
We work with mortgage lenders and other community development organizations to host informational seminars on credit, money management, SONYMA and other loan products.
For most Americans, buying a home is the single largest purchase of a lifetime. Harlem CDC works to provide the community with basic tools needed to become informed home buyers and homeowners.
