WE CREATE OPPORTUNITY THROUGH HOME OWNERSHIP: Access to quality, affordable housing is the cornerstone of the American dream. While companies and organizations across the country begin to consider how they can have a positive impact on the racial wealth gap in America, EANDC stands on a long history of community-focused investment that makes “the dream” accessible to our clients and their families.
INVESTMENT IN EDUCATION: Education is a lifelong process and some of our most important life lessons take place outside of a traditional classroom. To succeed in today’s economy, adults must understand the basics (and the myths) about money management, apply for credit, and the home buying process. Through our homeowner resource center, HUD-certified counseling services, and our free financial literacy workshops EANDC clients are empowered to succeed.
WE BELIEVE IN COMMUNITY: Strong neighborhoods are the cornerstone of thriving communities. EANDC is committed to overcoming the blight caused by the foreclosure crisis in Summit and Stark counties and revitalizing the neighborhoods our clients call home. Strong communities include core services such as fair banking, quality retailers and access to education. This commitment includes collaborations and partnerships such as those we have with PNC Bank, Third Federal, Dave’s grocery stores and LeBron James Foundation I Promise Schools.
THE NUMBERS SHOW OUR IMPACT: Through strategic planning and strong leadership, EANDC showed an increase in net assets during one of the most difficult economic years in history. We are in a new phase of sustainable growth and are uniquely positioned to help reduce the 19,600-unit affordable housing deficit in Ohio’s Stark and Summit counties. Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home.
HELPING REAL PEOPLE: Just as important as dinner on the table, where we live is deeply connected to our sense of security and identity. By supporting EANDC, our donors are supporting aging seniors, families with children, first generation homeowners and veterans on a limited income. A donation of EANDC helps make homeownership accessible and provides priceless peace of mind to those we serve.
