CATCH Neighborhood Housing Creates Housing Opportunities

CATCH Neighborhood Housing, a non-profit organization based in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, is highly respected for its passion for excellence in creating housing opportunities for low to moderate-income individuals and families. Its innovative housing solutions are geared toward the underserved market, thus, providing them with the opportunity to own affordable and quality homes.

CATCH has two main programs, namely, affordable rental apartments and Home Buyer Education via its HOMEteam. It has several achievements to its name including nearly 200 units of permanent housing in Concord as well as in other places including Friedman Court and Alden Place. It has also renovated duplexes via its Homes Downtown program, which will sell the renovated duplexes to buyers with modest means at affordable prices.

Furthermore, CATCH has established the Home Buyer Education Center to assist and educate families about financial planning and home ownership. The center has so far helped over 800 families while over 200 individuals and families have become successful at owning their permanent homes.

CATCH has earned several awards and citations for its admirable work. It was named as the Non-profit of the Year by the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce during its 2015 Pinnacle Awards; as the recipient of the Housing for Everyone Award conferred by the TD Charitable Foundation in November 2014; as the recipient of the Walter J. Dunfey Award for Excellence in Non Profit Management conferred by the NH Charitable Foundation; and the recipient of a Plan New Hampshire Annual Merit Award in April 2014, among others.

CATCH was also certified by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for its Home Buyer Education Center. The center was cited as the star home counselling agency in the State of New England by HUD in 2005.

But CATCH is not resting on its laurels. The non-profit developer of affordable permanent housing will continue with its thrust of addressing the needs for affordable housing for low to moderate-income individuals and families.
