Through seminars and other events, the AAFE CDF reaches out to community homeowners and homebuyers.


The AAFE CDF features a loan fund to complement its award winning education, counseling, and mortgage referral services. This loan fund seeks to address credit needs such as downpayment and closing cost assistance.

To the AAFE CDF, community development means much more than just housing and economic development, as communities mean much more than just houses and businesses. For a community to be vital, its members must buy into it – both figuratively and literally. People must see each other as neighbors, and they must see their homes as being truly theirs. It is this vision of the American Dream of homeownership that inspires our work.

AAFE CDF works in partnership with government agencies, financial institutions as well as other community based organizations to increase home ownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income individuals by helping them qualify for home mortgage loans through counseling and education. Some of our partners include:
