BPNC’s team helps low and moderate income families build credit, establish savings and achieve homeownership. Our team of HUD-certified counselors focuses on guiding, educating, and resolving an array of concerns for our clients. We provide 1:1 help to people who are purchasing a home for the first time, discuss tips on how to maintain financial stability after purchasing a home, and we inform tenants and landlords of their rights and responsibilities. The overall goal is to teach healthy financial habits while facilitating homeownership so that our community has access to safe and affordable housing. When families can grow roots, they are more likely to develop a sense of personal ownership and responsibility within our community.
