7 I have been telling people to go to Portland Housing Center to learn about buying a house They will help you find answers! Financial Fitness helped Claudia take a hard look at her spending. The lessons she learned and the desire to save have stuck with her, even after the class and home purchase.

8 The people at PHC were looking out for me and I am in awe of them. I have so much respect for how they help people. Karen, once homeless, now owns a home for family. With Portland Housing Center s help and the IDA program she was able to build strong credit and save for a down payment.

9 The staff at the PHC were on my team. They changed my perspective and made the home buying process accessible. Portland Housing Center s one stop shop gave Luc the knowledge and access to home buying professionals she needed to be confident in her purchase.
