HOMEBUYER EDUCATION AND BUDGET/CREDIT COUNSELING

Click here to register and access dates for upcoming classes.

Established in 2003, under HCCI's Harlem Equitable Development Initiative (Harlem EDI) our budget and credit programs were created to help Harlem residents who were unable to take part in Harlem’s real estate boom due to the rising cost of housing and commercial space. These services prepare Harlem residents to become stakeholders in their community through homeownership and business ownership.
