“I had money to pay for [my] house, but not for the needed repairs. Things are now how they should be. Good quality work and [HOCN] kept me informed of what was going on.”

“I am just so appreciative to have had [the work on my home] done. The process was thorough, with a proper inspection. [HOCN] knew what needed to be fixed and they did it right.”

“We had so many repairs to be made on the house, serious repairs. It was our only option. I am a senior citizen and needed electrical work to be done, window replacement, a new roof, and many other things.
We are very satisfied with the work and our home is more secure and safe to live in. The repairs on the roof stopped leak damage and the chimney was replaced. The electric was updated. It is all a wonderful change.
I think the people and the work was great. You have confidence in these people, just watching how great they worked and the pride they took in the work they did. I am so grateful for the quality in their character and the quality of their work.”

“HOCN has been an incredibly important catalyst to the Lower West Side. They are one of the few organizations that are “getting things done.” They have a firm grasp of the housing needs and issues in their target area. They have a consistent proven track record and go out of their way to engage the community (tree plantings, celebrations, opening their site for block club meetings). They also practice what they preach by their office being in the “heart of a city” neighborhood.”
