WSNHS is also administering a $485,000.00 grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank for exterior repairs thru out the City. We have received numerous requests for partner loans to complete projects. For example, if a roof needs repair and the maximum grant is $4,850.00, but the cost of the repair is $8,000.00, we are funding the difference from our NeighborWorks® America revolving loan fund. These loans have been extended throughout the City limits. West Side Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. is a HUD certified counseling agency, and we are the only agency certified to give secondary financing to FHA mortgages. Our homeownership education prepares potential first-time home buyers with classes explaining the process of obtaining a mortgage and how to avoid predatory lenders. We offer credit counseling to correct outstanding financial issues that may hinder their getting a conventional mortgage. We also provide technical advice and rehabilitation loans to encourage families to stay in their homes. West Side Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. does this by inspecting the property and then processing a loan application. The loan would cover any and all City of Buffalo building code violations. On a smaller scale, we have instituted a Minor Home Repair program. The guidelines for this program are that the homeowner purchases the supplies and we pay a repair person to do the labor. West Side Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. also has an Emergency Program to address an immediate need such as a broken furnace or water line. Due to a lack of funding, we no longer offer a security program. We are aggressive in offering first mortgages to families that are working to become homeowners, but their credit scores are too low, or the value of the house is not enough to go to a regular lending institution.
