The Mission and History of NHSSV

Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley (the "Organization") is a nonprofit public benefit organization incorporated in California in 1995 by a group of local citizens with support from the City of San Jose Department of Housing. NHSSV’s mission is “to improve the living environment of low and moderate income families by providing programs and services that promote and support responsible home ownership as a means of revitalizing neighborhoods and engendering community pride and economic stability among residents.”

 

NHSSV is a member of the NeighborWorks America Network, a national affiliation of 235 independent, community-based nonprofit organizations committed to community revitalization. It is also certified by the US Department of Treasury as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). NHSSV is the only community-based non-profit corporation in California that is approved as a direct seller and servicer by Fannie Mae.

 

Since 1995, NHSSV’s HomeOwnership Center has educated and counseled over five thousand prospective homebuyers and in the last 3 years NHSSV has prevented over six hundred homes from foreclosure. Since 2001, NHSSV has provided direct loans to 350 low and moderate income homeowners for a total investment of over $112 Million in first and secondary mortgage financing. NHSSV has trained 200 neighborhood leaders to take action on issues most impacting their communities. The organization’s target population is primarily in San Jose, however, our services are delivered throughout Santa Clara, South Alameda, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties.
