NKCDC Housing

We believe stable homes make stable neighborhoods, and that there should be affordable homeownership opportunities for all.

NKCDC works to expand homeownership opportunities for working families. In the past twenty-five years NKCDC has helped more than 4,000 low and moderate income families purchase their first homes. We offer homebuyer workshops and work closely with city and state officials to offer weatherization education and other forms of energy assistance. Financial literacy, personal budgeting mentoring, and foreclosure prevention assistance is also available.

Real Estate Development - NKCDC brings life to abandoned buildings by providing affordable housing to first-time homebuyers, converting old factories to new uses, and collaborating with city, state, & federal agencies on brownfield redevelopment. NKCDC renovates single-family homes for first-time homebuyers, and in 2004 created the vibrant Coral Street Arts House, converting an abandoned factory into affordable artist live-work space.
