Today, NHS of the South Bronx joined Mayor Bloomberg, DCA Commissioner Jonathan Mintz, and NeighborWorks America to launch the Loan Scam Alert campaign. The NHS team gathered this morning at the Hub in the South Bronx to spread the word that homeowners should never pay upfront fees for assistance in getting a loan modification. In fact, NHS and other members of the Center for New York City Neighborhoods provide this service without charge! Anyone who has trouble paying their mortgage should call NHS or 311 to get free reliable help.

NHS is now offering downpayment assistance of up to $200,000 per building to help qualified buyers purchase NHS StoreWorks buildings. This program is made possible with $1.4M in funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). These funds were awarded to NHS Community Development Corp. (NHS CDC) by the New York State Housing Finance Agency and applications are now available on the NHS Homes for Sale webpage.

Just like organizations large and small in New York City and across the United States, Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) is taking action to support our neighbors in Haiti by responding immediately to the needs of individuals and families impacted by this disaster. In the wake of the Haiti earthquake, NHS has launched an employee giving campaign and we are asking NHS staff to increase their humanitarian commitment by making financial donations to support the future stability of Haiti.
