For Home Owners

Welcome Home Owners!  PDC’s Neighborhood Housing Program (NHP) helps home owners refinance and renovate their homes.  In fact PDC has been helping Portland’s home owners, just like you, with home improvement for more than more than 40 years. PDC has two construction specialists who can help you through your home improvement project and its loan specialists can help you get the funding you need to update your home.
