Strong communities start with safe affordable housing. East Akron Neighborhood Development Corporation (EANDC) staff, tenants, volunteers and donors have been bringing this vision to life since the 1980s, and our partners at NeighborWorks have been investing in Akron, Canton and Massillon neighborhoods for over 20 years.
Each year, we rally and celebrate our neighbors and the partners who empower us during NeighborWorks Week (June 6-13, 2020). With the support of NeighborWorks, EANDC has made a tremendous impact through monthly community meetings, thriving home ownership and financial literacy programs, and their overall support positioned EANDC to undertake our most recent “I Promise Housing” project. Despite the setbacks of the COVID-19 Pandemic, EANDC continued to support residents and provide resources to help families stay in affordable housing. We are also excited to announce that our online Homebuyer Education course is fully booked through June, and we are currently booking for July.
Ms. Brown, a past homebuyer education participant recently shared her thoughts on the program. “I would recommend EANDC and the homebuyer classes to anyone planning to purchase a home or homeowners such as myself that need guidance from a trustworthy agency. EANDC has always had good programs, and I am so thankful for this one and for the help I received from Toya Kelker.” Changing the lives of people like Ms. Brown was made possible with the help of instructor training and education through NeighborWorks America.
