Back to What We Do

PLEASE NOTE: Since the pandemic, all workshops and counseling are conducted virtually or via telephone.

A cornerstone of the organization, Mt. Airy CDC’s Housing Counseling Program seeks to strengthen and empower neighborhoods by shaping long-term, successful homeowners.

Mt. Airy CDC’s Housing Counseling Program delivers high-quality services to low and moderate-income first-time homebuyers and existing homeowners. Our goal is to turn clients into successful homeowners by educating them about the home buying process, helping them develop a detailed work plan, assisting with setting up a tax agreement, and providing access to financial resources for home repair, maintenance, and emergency mortgage assistance. Our program also aims to bolster the financial savvy of those consumers by helping them avoid foreclosure, predatory loans and disreputable home contractors, and to repair damaged credit.

Our housing counselors work with Pennsylvania residents in several programs, including foreclosure prevention, first-time homebuyer’s workshops and one-on-one counseling, post-purchase counseling, and home improvement workshops.

Our housing counselors have also been working with senior citizens in Pennsylvania to educate them on the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM, better known as reverse mortgage). This initiative provides an easier and more stable way for seniors to live more comfortably by making some home repairs and paying off other debts without the worry of a monthly payment.

If you have any questions about workshops or our Housing Counseling program, please email housing@mtairycdc.org.

Mt Airy CDC is grateful to the sponsors of our housing counseling program:

In October 2016, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency awarded Mt. Airy CDC’s housing counseling program its Best Agency Award, a state-level recognition for exemplary service to Pennsylvania residents.
