Our Story
Chartered in 1998, Eastern Eight Community Development Corporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and a certified Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO).
We’re on a mission to fulfill housing needs for low to moderate income families, making home ownership a reality for a multitude of people.

On a Mission
Income isn’t the only barrier to homeownership, however. Families and individuals in our region struggle against various issues that keep them from becoming successful homeowners. For this reason, we concentrate our services into five key areas:

- Homeownership
- Post-purchase homeowner education
- Foreclosure prevention services
- Affordable rental housing
