Homeownership: Joseph Corporation’s staff works with families through all stages of becoming a homeowner: credit and budget counseling, education about the homeownership process, mortgage counseling, and post-purchase counseling. We link homebuyers to financial assistance and employer-assisted housing programs when they are available to them. For our clients who are homeowners, we offer refinance counseling, reverse mortgage counseling, and foreclosure prevention and intervention. As a member organization of NeighborWorks® America, our counselors complete hours of specialized counseling training in order to be certified as counselors, and we are the only HUD-certified housing counselors in the Aurora area. Real Estate Development: Joseph Corporation continues to produce quality single-family homes with long-term affordability built into the final product. The New Start Program works with both acquisition/rehab and new construction on vacant lots. As a not-for-profit organization, Joseph Corporation can provide proof of a tax deductible donation for any portion or all of the value of any property donated to us. Coulter Court Residences, developed by Joseph Corporation, provides 38 affordable one-bedroom apartments in a beautifully rehabbed historical building in downtown Aurora. Additionally, Joseph Corporation maintains ownership interest in two affordable apartment complexes serving the senior population: Rose Terrace in Oswego and The Meadows in Elburn.
Neighborhood Revitalization: Through its New Start Program, Joseph Corporation purchases distressed properties and after making necessary repairs, major system updates as needed, and general property improvements; sells the homes to qualified homebuyers. This reinvestment in older neighborhoods has a significant impact on the neighborhood as a whole and often stimulates private investment on other properties. Such reinvestment in older neighborhoods is key to their viability. |
