On Friday, May 1, the Huntington Foundation awarded YNDC with a $10,000 grant for Housing Counseling.

The Housing Counseling Program empowers low- to moderate-income residents to identify and overcome barriers to homeownership, including inadequate savings, income, credit history, and understanding of the home buying process, and prepare them for future homeownership; and to provide existing low- to moderate-income homeowners with resources to maximize their limited incomes and minimize repair costs so that they can avoid foreclosure and improve their living conditions. Many thanks to the Huntington Foundation for their ongoing support of this critical service!

YNDC has acquired the 4,500 square foot building at 1945 Glenwood Avenue and begun clean up.

The building is located adjacent to the Youngstown Playhouse and is covered on two sides by murals. This project is part of an ongoing effort to clean up Glenwood Avenue and a broader development project that will include new housing in the future. The building will be available for rent once the clean up is complete. 

In response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) is providing mortgage payment assistance to eligible Youngstown residents.

Eligible residents include those who lost employment income on or after March 14, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The program provides mortgage payment assistance to Youngstown residents whose household income is at or below 120% of the area median income who lost employment income on or after March 14, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, causing their housing costs to exceed 30% of their household income.

1810 Volney Road was donated to YNDC in late 2019. The historic home at 1810 Volney was built by Emery McKelvey in 1927 and was later used for decades as a Carmelite monastery and worship center led by Father Richard Madden, an organizer and spiritual leader who fought to keep the monastery open for the people of Youngstown during a time of great social and economic hardship following the collapse of the local steel industry.

YNDC plans to improve parking and outdoor meeting space, upgrade mechanical systems, and restore the first floor of the property for use as a Neighborhood Action Center to conduct public and group meetings to organize residents to address systemic neighborhood problems and improve our neighborhoods. The renovation will allow for the continued use of the facility as a civic center and preserve the landmark property as a neighborhood asset for generations to come.

YNDC needs your help to restore this landmark property, honor the legacy of Father Richard Madden and Cece Bersch, and create a center for Youngstown residents’ efforts to improve their neighborhoods. Every donation helps! DONATE NOW!
