Success Stories
Our mission has made a life-changing impact for these clients.
Housing Specialists Walk with Client on Path to Homeownership
Janna had what it takes to become a first-time homeowner, bravery and persistence! When she came to NHP she wanted to buy her family home but had a low credit score. “I took all the advice given (from the housing specialists) and confronted my credit report instead of being scared by it. Now I’m closing on my house and I raised my credit score over 200 points! I also understand why I fell into a pattern of bad credit and what not to do in the future.”

Maintenance Helps Keep Homeowner in His House
Tommy couldn’t use his kitchen sink and needed a walk-in shower to make living at home easier. He received the much-needed plumbing and bathroom updates. Tommy was, “highly satisfied with the cleanliness of the workers, quality of the work and the project was completed on time.”

Education and Support at Every Step
Housing counseling clients said, “If you want to know how to buy a home, call them!”
“It was a safe place to express my concerns without being judged.”
“After talking with them, I had clear next steps in easy-to-understand terms.”
“They helped me feel more comfortable and confident in the homebuying process!”
