In 1987 when Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc. (LHHA) was formed, the priority of the founding groups (local pastors, social workers, and community members) was the need for affordable housing and creating a system in which the community residents (mainly Haitian immigrants) would become the homeowners. LHHA designed its Homebuyer's Education program in 1992 to address the issues of the lack of understanding of financial institutions, lack of trust in institutions, and the prevalent language barrier. LHHA has been providing housing opportunities through its development projects as well as through the partnerships it has garnered. Since 1992, more than 1,975 families have graduated from the program and of those 195 have purchased homes from LHHA and partner organizations.
LHHA is currently constructing and/or marketing several condominium buildings with the objective of moving 42 families into homeownership opportunities. Please click here to view our current housing developments.
LHHA's Home Ownership program is designed to determine a family's homeownership readiness and provides homebuyer education tailored to its residents. Credit counseling is available if a family has credit problems that prevent them from securing a mortgage. When families meet the pre-qualification criteria, they are enrolled in an eight hour course that covers budget counseling, support for below-market rate mortgage applications and closing information.
