Responding to Community Housing Needs


Message from the Director

Celebrating 2009

Are we celebrating the fact that 2009 is over? – yes. But amidst a challenging year NCALL had many significant accomplishments to celebrate:

  • The Loan Fund celebrated its 5th birthday as a CDFI.
  • Reached the milestone of 6500 first-time homebuyer closings.
  • Foreclosure Prevention response by NCALL tripled.
  • Two rental communities were constructed and a major preservation effort moved towards construction closing.
  • Installed 66 solar photovoltaic energy panels on Dover campus.

In addition, NeighborWorks America® conducted a rigorous Program Review of all aspects of NCALL’s operation. This Final Report yielded a conclusion indicating NCALL met or exceeded all review criteria. Cost containment was implemented as NCALL reduced its FY’2009 budget a full 8%, leaving no line items untouched. Please view our 2009 Annual Report for more detailed information and also for real stories that add life and breath to the statistics. As always, we appreciate all of our many stakeholders who help make our work possible. Should you ever have suggestions or concerns, I can be reached at 302-678-9400 or e-mail.

Sincerely,

Joe L. Myer
Executive Director
