Do you want to purchase your first home but have little to no money for a downpayment?
You may qualify for our Individual Development Account Program (“IDA”): A comprehensive 6 to 12 month FDIC endorsed financial literacy program entitled “Money Talks” that enables
participants to receive matching funds for a savings account that can be used to
purchase their first home, to open a small business or for higher education.
Participants complete economic literacy and homebuyer education courses, clean up
their credit, establish a budget and savings schedule, and manage their money on a long
term basis. Program participants may be subject to specific income guidelines and limitations. Please check Calendar and Events for course schedules and registration information.

Are you currently behind on your mortgage payment?
Through our Foreclosure Prevention/Mortgage Advocate Program (“MAP”), GCHC offers assistance such as financial counseling and loss mitigation for homeowners facing financial troubles.
GCHC partners with lenders, real estate industry and counseling professionals to offer such homeowner advocacy.
GCHC's main goal is to eliminate the shame and intimidation associated with foreclosure and help people keep their homes, but homeowners need to make that first phone call. If you are a Guilford County resident facing foreclosure, please contact
GCHC to set up an appointment to discuss your options. Potential clients will be given a unique identification number to ensure confidentiality.
Our Community Foreclosure Clinics are ongoing and are open to the public. Check Calendar and Events for schedules and registration information.
Have additional questions regarding foreclosure? Refer to our FAQ section and our GCHC Resource Guide.
