About Us
Our Mission: To promote and encourage residential development and revitalization within the City of Euclid.
At EDCOR, our vision is a Euclid where every resident has access to safe, affordable housing and the tools to maintain it. We envision a community where opportunities are equitable, and no one is left to face housing challenges alone. Setting Euclid residents up for housing success is our number one goal.
To achieve this vision, our goals are to:
● Increase opportunities for first-time homeownership by expanding down payment assistance and education programs. We aim to help 20 income-eligible new families purchase homes in Euclid over the next year.
● Assist more existing homeowners in making critical home repairs and upgrades through our low interest loan program. Our goal is to approve 15 loans per year for income-qualified residents to fix issues, avoid violations, and preserve housing.
● Enhance educational offerings to current and prospective homeowners in Euclid. Future programs will provide customized guidance on financial readiness, home maintenance, loan processes, and more.
● Develop new initiatives and partnerships to address evolving housing needs. We are exploring options like financial literacy courses, homebuyer readiness workshops, and partnering with local organizations.
At EDCOR, we believe that safe, stable housing provides the foundation for residents to build better futures. That’s why we’re committed to equipping our community with the tools and resources to achieve housing success for generations to come.
We welcome partners who share our resident-first vision. Together, we can build a Euclid of growth and opportunity. To get involved, contact us at info@edcor.org.
