HODC developed
fifteen buildings in Evanston,
Highland Park, Morton Grove, Northbrook, Northfield, Skokie with 229 affordable owner-occupied and rental units.
These projects would not have been possible without the generous support
of our building partners. In addition to housing development, HODC's program areas include property management, homebuyer counseling, and community education. Our programs are described below.
-
Housing Development: HODC purchases, develops and rehabs rental and owner-occupied affordable housing units on our own and through joint ventures with other housing developers. HODC also provides affordable housing predevelopment consulting to nonprofit and private entities.
-
Property Management: HODC manages more than
160
affordable rental units; links tenants to community services; leases a number
of units to social service agencies; and accepts households with section 8
vouchers.
-
Homebuyer Counseling: HODC conducts
seminars
and one-on-one counseling sessions on first-time home-buying topics such as credit
history and post-purchasing counseling. HODC also partners with local employers to develop
employer-assisted housing programs that promote affordable housing options near jobs and help employers retain workers.
-
Community Education: HODC participates in local, regional and statewide coalitions and campaigns that promote expansion of affordable housing options. Additionally, HODC collaborates with municipalities, employers, community leaders, neighbors, civic & religious organizations, and tenants to build stronger communities.
Further, HODC offers
affordable housing presentations to organizations and businesses.
If you would like an HODC board member or staff to speak to your organization or
business about affordable housing, please call us.
