Information about this Agency:
The NeighborWorks® Homeownership Center (HOC) was established by the Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) to assist people in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties to successfully purchase and retain a home. Launched on a smaller scale in 1988, the HOC extended its services countywide in September 2001 when it joined the NeighborWorks Network run by NeighborWorks America, a national intermediary serving community development corporations.
As a NeighborWorks network member the HOC provides a full-lending cycle strategy. This strategy includes more than just lending. Lower-income buyers are supported throughout the home ownership process beginning with home buyer education, counseling, down payment assistance and consulting for first-time buyers, and if a situation should arise additional counseling is provided for troubled borrowers struggling to remain in their home.
The HOC offers four different types of housing counseling programs, which includes Pre-Purchase Counseling and Education, Post-Purchase Counseling and Education, Mortgage Default Counseling and Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Counseling, also known as Reverse Mortgage Counseling.
