PCDC Joins PHFA Network!
PCDC is proud to join the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) housing counseling network as a PHFA approved Homeownership Counseling Agency. With this partnership, more support and resources are provided to us so we can better serve our clients.
The PHFA works to provide affordable homeownership and rental options, promotes economic development across the state, and offers homebuyer counseling and education online and through approved counseling agencies, such as PCDC.
PCDC’s HUD-certified Housing Counseling Program provides a variety of free housing counseling services to homebuyers, homeowners, and low-to moderate income renters.
