Some kind words from our clients

“We participated in Kingdom CDC’s Homebuyer Education Workshop in July 2019, and purchased a home October 2020. Thank you Kingdom, the class helped us make homeownership a reality.”
Christopher Evans & Adora Deering Evans
Kingdom CDC’s 1st Time Homebuyer Education Workshop Success -
“I do not know what I would have done to save my deceased parents’ home without Kingdom CDC. I was so far behind and could not qualify for help from my mortgage company. My counselor worked so hard to help me that I feel like she is family now. GOD Bless them.”
Angela Reece -
“Thanks to Kingdom CDC I was able to purchase a new home!”
