We could not speak highly enough about our experience with PHC. We were able to close on our first home thanks to them. Heidi was incredibly responsive, helpful, friendly.They were easy to work with and I found their information incredibly helpful for a first time homebuyer. Highly recommend! I wish more people knew about their programs!

I haven't been able to do that for long time.once I land good job which should be soon it will be more realistic for me. I was hoping staff member could reach out to me and tell me more about what you do

Portland housing center gave me the opportunity to do something great and almost out of reach in today’s housing market! Thanks to their program I was able to buy a condo and reach a life goal I have had for years. I recommend PHC to all my friends!

I first learned about PHC through an Individual Development Account (IDA) program. I completed the program and received funds towards my first home in 2017. I was so grateful to the loan officer Heidi for walking me through mortgage options and getting a very accurate estimate of what my monthly costs would be so I could plan my finances out. Just recently, I decided to return to PHC for a second mortgage with my fiancée. We no longer qualify for the low income programs, but decided to use PHC again because it is an easy smooth lending process with multiple loan options. I also appreciate that the usual fees one pays in the lending process will go to support Portland Housing Center's programs to help more first time homebuyers. Heidi will be frank about your credit, your options, and the whole process to ensure you are getting a good rate and your home purchase will close on time. Thank you again PHC!

This was one of the worst experiences, I have ever experienced dealing with any non-profit or profitable entity trying to assist the needy. buying a house it's hard if you don't know what you're doing, I think what they try to do is jumble everything up so that they can maybe try to take advantage of your situation. All they did was waste my time, and their whole process doesn't tell you anything about anything it's ridiculous, The home buyer course rapid fired so much information that there was steam coming out of my ears by the end of it. You can't fit a 12-hour class into it I need our class and think that anybody will retain anything. And it's all because they don't want to tell you that they don't have any fundsRather than tell you they don't have funds they string you along like you're on a wash line until the breaking point when they have to tell you or they're going to end up looking stupid it's like one of the most inefficient ways to go about helping people I have ever seen or experienced in my life .

I will definitely recommend PHC for those who do not believe they can afford a house. I had the best homebuying consultant, Mayra Paez, and the best lending officer, Heidi Martin. Mayra helped me meet my financial goals and prepared me for the homebuying process every step of the way. Heidi was so great in answering my emails and phone calls when I needed an explanation and guidance in all the paperwork. I was so overwhelmed to even begin the home buying process, but I received excellent service and support from PHC. I am now a home owner! ?

The folks at Portland Housing Center are amazing, and I can't recommend them highly enough! Everyone was a joy to work with and exceptionally organized, efficient, and producing amazing results for their clients. If you are looking to be a first-time home buyer in the Portland area, run don't walk to PHC lol <3

This is the most amazing service!!!! I learned so much from thier finanicial and home buying classes. I knew nothing about buying a house and what I needed to do just to get started. I was assigned a worker and she was with me through the whole process. She walked me through the baby steps at the speed I needed to go. She guided me on getting out of debt, setting goals for saving, and so much more along the way. I am now a home owner!!! When she handed me off to the people who helped me to with the monies to close they were just as amazing!! They have a wonderful list of contacts that will help you in all the aspects of the finding a house and closing on a house. I cannot say enough good things about this place.

I worked with Heidi Martin to obtain a mortgage after my original lender backed out after I had already gotten an offer accepted. They were very prompt and helpful in getting me a new lender in a short timespan!

Aside from maybe the IDA program they're not really of much help at all.

100% recommend the Portland Housing Center for first time home buyers. When I decided to start saving for a home 4 years ago a friend pointed me to this place. Between the classes, budgeting help, and the IDA program I would not have known what to do to build my credit, get a real idea of what I could cut out of my spending habits and the great incentive to keep saving in order to utilized the match savings program. I just now bought a home and the match savings paid a good chunk of my closing costs. Thank you PHC!

I registered with Portland Housing Center in December and am now moving in to my first condo! They have a ton of services and programs that are super helpful for first time homebuyers, prospective homebuyers, and returning homebuyers alike. I took the Homebuying 101 course, met with one of their housing counselors, and used PHC as my mortgage broker. I really appreciated everyone's honesty and support throughout the process, and they were great about connecting me to other resources throughout the community (e.g., realtors, home inspectors, other mortgage brokers/lenders). PHC is a phenomenal asset to the community and region, and I highly recommend anyone who is looking to buy a home or even just learn more about the process to look into PHC. Thanks to everyone at the PHC team for your support!
