NeighborWorks® Greater Manchester is a non-profit
organization dedicated to the improvement of the lives of individuals and
families living in the Greater Manchester region by providing access to quality
housing services, revitalizing neighborhoods and supporting opportunities for
personal empowerment. NeighborWorks®
Greater Manchester has helped thousands of people break the cycle of poverty and
improve their financial stability through either home ownership or providing
quality affordable rental housing.
NeighborWorks® Greater Manchester helps families realize a stable housing cost
so they may build economic self-sufficiency.
NeighborWorks® Greater Manchester has led in
the reinvestment and reinvigoration of neighborhoods through Manchester, and we
have expanded our community development focus to towns in the Greater Manchester
region. We work with individuals and
families, educating them on the home ownership process, building financial
assets, achieving greater economic security, overcoming poverty, and becoming
involved to preserve the quality of their neighborhood.
In addition, NeighborWorks® Greater Manchester’s multi-family apartments
provide quality housing at a stable price.
NeighborWorks® Greater Manchester improves the
lives of those in need and betters the greater community.
Today, the blatant problems and issues of Manchester’s inner city
neighborhoods have been reversed--quality affordable housing has replaced
dilapidated buildings, home ownership has increased and more residents are
engaged in their community. There is
confidence in the potential of all Manchester neighborhoods and NeighborWorks®
Greater Manchester continues to work throughout the city and the Greater
Manchester region to increase home ownership, provide quality affordable
housing, and improve neighborhoods.
Our major areas of operation are:
- The NeighborWorks® Home Ownership Center of
Manchester: a full service program
whose purpose is to help underserved families understand critical components
of home ownership, including its
financial responsibilities and maintenance and repair, how home ownership
can provide meaningful opportunity to change economic viability, and provide
guidance and assistance in the loan process;
- Affordable housing development: Develop affordable
housing for sale or rent for low and moderate income families and
individuals;
- Resident services: Involve our tenants and other
community residents in the civic life of the community, and provide a
variety of enrichment services.
Although we operate independently, NeighborWorks® Greater
Manchester is affiliated with NeighborWorks® America, a national network of
community development organizations working to address the need for affordable
housing and improved communities.
