Overview

Mission

Nedco collaboratively builds human capital assets to strengthen neighborhoods and broaden participation in community ownership and governance. Nedco is committed to projects that strengthen low-income households and the neighborhoods in which they live and work. It has improved the economic well-being of individuals, families, and neighborhoods through an array of programs spanning homeownership education, home building, preservation of historic properties, and facilitating small business development. Sustaining a livable community through nurturing community ownership and governance, and employing community design processes has established nedco as a leader and innovator in community based development. The organization was first founded to serve the eugene-springfield area of lane county, Oregon. The organization has since expanded its service area to include all of lane county, the mid-willamette valley, and clackamas county. Nedco is Oregon's first community development corporation.

Opportunityworks - this department houses nedco's personal asset building programs and its foreclosure intervention program. Nedco has operated the pre-purchase homeownership program since 1994. Nedco classes on homeownership include a one day, eight hour class that covers basic home buying topics taking the buyer from finding a home to purchase, escrow, insurance, and basic home maintenance. Also offered is a series of classes lasting eight weeks which cover topics including financial stability, budgeting and credit, savings and debt, credit insurance, and mortgages. Two other classes offered help people in financial crisis. These classes cover basic financial management, savings, debt, and credit rebuilding. For the last seven years, nedco has offered foreclosure intervention services to homeowners who were at risk of, or in the process of foreclosure. Nedco operates a state sponsored program which provides advocacy to homeowners going through foreclosure. In the opportunityworks program each year, nedco helps more than 2,500 people learn to manage their finances, purchase their first home, or navigate the foreclosure process with as much of their dignity and personal wealth intact as possible. Nedco is a hud-approved housing counseling agency and a state-designated regional housing center in lane, marion and clackamas counties. In addition, nedco provides access to a variety of financial resources, such as individual development accounts (ida's) for the purpose of purchasing a home, pursuing postsecondary education, technical assistance, or starting or growing a microenterprise (a business with five or fewer employees); and down payment assistance to clients who are low-income who are ready to purchase their first home.
