WHO WE ARE
Community Building Partnership of Stark County, Inc. (“CBP” for short) is committed to restoring the health and prosperity of Stark County, Ohio neighborhoods.
OUR MISSION
To promote the revitalization of neighborhoods in Stark County, Ohio.
HOW WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION
Our two programs, Healthy Neighborhoods and Housing Counseling, work together to strengthen and promote homeownership in our area.
Our Healthy Neighborhoods program works with City of Canton neighborhood leaders and residents to develop neighborhood revitalization action strategies. Through our collaborative partnerships, homeowners access financial and informational resources as they invest their time, effort, and money (i.e., acting as “TEAM” Players) in improving their neighborhood identity, image, and home values.
As a HUD-approved, local housing counseling agency for Canton/Stark County, our Housing Counseling program provides household budget and credit counseling, financial literacy education, and pre-purchase home buying education to those seeking to become homeowners, and to current homeowners looking to build the equity in their homes. We partner with the City of Canton to manage its Down Payment Assistance program, a HUD-funded program that provides down payment/closing cost assistance to qualifying, low-moderate income, first-time homebuyers.
OUR VALUES
We value the role of residents as leaders in our neighborhood efforts.
We value the role of homeownership in stabilizing our neighborhoods while recognizing the need for a variety of housing options in our neighborhoods.
We value partnerships that include residents, schools, churches, organizations, nonprofit and for profit businesses, and public entities working together to carry out neighborhood plans and improvements.
