Mission

The mission of Jasper County Neighbors United is to enhance the quality of life by creating healthy communities

What is a CDC?

A Community Development Corporation is a community-based organization that enables people to work together to achieve common goals.

Setting Goals

The community decides the goals. Many CDSs work on issues of affordable housing, small business development, job creation and/or training, to name a few.

JCNU wants to teach people how to buy a home. Low-to-moderate income people can purchase a home that appreciates in value, provides space for the family, and gives them an investment that starts them on the road to building their wealth.

Building a community isn’t just about bricks, mortar and wood; it is about building a community’s wealth. To do this, JCNU teaches people how to budget, how to save, and how to take care of their homes and properties.

JCNU helps them find: loans that are fair, help with down payments and other financial assistance. Individuals also learn how to present themselves to lenders as good loan candidates, and how to avoid predatory lending schemes.
