NCDC strives to meet the housing counseling demands of our turbulent economy. We have met the demand of struggling homeowners by increasing capacity to provide more foreclosure prevention counseling. However, we firmly believe that the best foreclosure prevention tool is a quality pre-purchase counseling program that encourages our clients to make sustainable homeownership decisions from the get-go. We provide homeownership counseling in the following areas:
* One-on-one Foreclosure Prevention Counseling
* Pre-purchase First Time Homebuyer Training
* Pre-purchase Condominium Training
* One-on-one Mortgage Readiness Assessment
* Chicago Community Land Trust Training
* Anti-Predatory Lending Database file review
NCDC has carved out a niche market in providing Employer Assisted Housing consulting and counseling services. Through partnerships with regional employers we work to counsel participating employees seeking to purchase homes, and guide them through the home purchase process to closing. We currently provide EAH services for the Chicago Board of Education, City Colleges of Chicago, and Loyola University. Through our wide range of services we serve clients of all types of racial and income backgrounds. We work with clients in all 50 wards of the city as well as suburban regions. We continue to maintain unique partnerships with public, private, and other non-profit agencies to expand our reach and further our mission.

Has COVID-19 made it hard to make your mortgage payments?
If you have a federally-backed mortgage and have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be eligible for up to one year of deferred mortgage payments.
Has COVID-19 made it hard to make your mortgage payments?
If you have a federally-backed mortgage and have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be eligible for up to one year of deferred mortgage payments. See below for more details.
Homeowners, some federally backed mortgages have a Dec. 31, 2020 deadline for requesting an initial forbearance. If you have already, or believe you will, experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19, you have a right to request and obtain a forbearance. To do so you must contact your loan servicer to request this forbearance.
There will be no additional fees, penalties or additional interest (beyond scheduled amounts) added to your account. If you are facing financial hardships, you should ask for forbearance immediately, so you don’t lose that right. Please find additional mortgage relief options through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/coronavirus/mortgage-and-housing-assistance/mortgage-relief/?fbclid=IwAR1M-JIzCaac-fkSXKPbTJNpLy8C8Q1RV4QQ8dJ1Prrqh14RJ8ZWFs0DzMw

Para este #TenantThursday, nos asociamos con la Liga de Justicia de la Vivienda de Chicago para discutir la nueva legislación de protección de inquilinos ante el Concejo Municipal, "Causa Justa de Desalojo".
Nos acompañarán Byron Sigcho-Lopez, Concejal del Distrito 25; Fanny Lopez Benitez del Latino Policy Forum, y otros expertos.
Debería la ley obligar a los inquilinos a mudarse cuando no han hecho nada malo? Se puede frenar la gentrificación sin una causa justa? Dado que el desalojo afecta de manera desproporcionada a los afroamericanos, es la causa justa una cuestión de justicia racial?

ComEd announced that they resumed disconnections for past due bills last week.
As many Illinois families and businesses continue to struggle with the financial challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, ComEd wants to remind customers in need that a variety of options remain available to assist with past-due balances, but many of these enhanced financial assistance options are only available for a limited time.
Customers who are challenged in paying their outstanding balances and energy bills should contact ComEd's customer care team as soon as possible at 1-800-EDISON-1 (1-800-334-7661), Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to take advantage of assistance options. Information on each of these options is available at ComEd.com/Support.
ComEd worked with the Illinois Attorney General’s office, the staff of the Illinois Commerce Commission and a broad group of stakeholders in June to offer the following customer-assistance options that are available for a limited time:
- Bill Assistance for Eligible Low-Income Customers. To help customers who are past due on their ComEd accounts, ComEd provides additional bill assistance – up to $500 –for eligible, low-income households earning 200 percent or less of the federal poverty level.
- More Flexible Payment Arrangements. For a limited time, ComEd offers payment plans of up to 18 installment payments with a 25% down payment for eligible residential customers. Low-income residential customers and those facing financial hardship can spread amounts they owe over 24 installment payments with no down payment.
ComEd understands the most vulnerable customers are hardest hit by the economic impacts of the pandemic, as such, they are suspending disconnects until March 2021 for their low-income customers. Please note the moratorium only applies to LIHEAP eligible customers or customers experiencing financial hardship.
