Creating warm, high-quality affordable apartments where families can settle and thrive. We stay right there with our neighbors, offering on-site support that lifts everyone up.

Pathways to Homeownership
Take a Homebuyer Class

Everyone deserves a home of their own. From first-time classes to post-purchase support, we walk alongside families—especially those with modest incomes—turning the dream of homeownership into reality.

Community Engagement
Get Involved

The strongest neighborhoods are built by the people who live in them. We empower residents to become leaders, organizing together to make streets safer, parks more beautiful, and communities healthier.

“This is MY home. It’s the first time that I was able to make a purchase like this on my own without help or assistance from anyone. The satisfaction that comes from opening my garage door and pull in is amazing! There is no better feeling than coming home each day to something that I know that is mine.”

—Maria Buslovich

“Sit down, write your goals down, stick with them and get something that you and your family can grow in. Thank you to Avenue CDC for all the help. Amazing program! Go get a home yourself!”

—Rogbe Stokes

“I would like everyone to know who doesn’t have a home that this dream can be true! YES. Everyone should know about this program, how easily you can become a homeowner with the great help of Avenue. Just set the goal and make it happen!”
