Hello supporters of HOCN!
Here's our monthly e-news updating you on what's been happening at Heart of the City Neighborhoods, Inc.!
 Looking to
Own a Home?
Heart of the City
Neighborhoods supports homeownership as an approach to strengthen neighborhood
growth and development. Homebuyer
clubs, particularly, have been initiated to alleviate the complex and rigorous process
of buying a home. Clubs provide information necessary to comprehend the housing
finance system and offer support and education during the procedure of buying a
home. Clubs, therefore, consist of
community members who share their progress and plan future goals.
On March 24 at 6pm, the Niagara
Branch Library will hold an informational meeting concerning the process of
homeownership. All are welcome and
encouraged to attend this free event. For additional comments or questions, please contact Casey Higgins.

 Hudson Welcomes Weekley
When
Adam Weekley arrived in Buffalo for Graduate School, he never envisioned owning
a home in the queen city. After
looking at numerous homes, however, Weekley chose to invest in the Lower West
Side. Fast forward nine years,
Adam is a respected Art Professor at Villa Maria College and a proud homeowner
on eclectic Hudson Street. Heart
of the City Neighborhoods sat down with Weekley this month to discuss
homeownership.
Q:
How did you hear about the house and what was your first impression:
A: I looked at numerous houses. It was the first house that had everything I was looking
for.
