Community Partners of South Florida Creates Opportunities for Homeownership in Palm Beach County

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Sept. 25, 2024 - PRLog -- Palm Beach County based non-profit organization Community Partners of South Florida (CPSFL) worked with new homeowner Teneisha Cavanaugh to purchase a three bedroom, two and a half bathroom home in the historical neighborhood of Northwood.

A CPSFL client for three years, Cavanaugh engaged in counseling services which included budgeting and increasing her income and worked closely with Ana Lopez (NMLS#340649), the organization's Community Development Lending Manager.

"I put the package together and shared it with several lenders. One of our partners at Capital Federal Credit Union from Lubbock, Texas agreed to do the loan. The loan originator and I worked together to make sure Ms. Cavanaugh gets the best home loan program," Lopez said.

As a comprehensive community development organization, Community Partners of South Florida's Homeownership Program includes lending services as well as pre-purchase and post-purchase counseling services.

"We are truly a one-stop shop from financial coaching to pre-purchase counseling and lending services," said VP of Housing Services, Lynda Charles. "The goal is not to do every loan internally but assist the buyers in getting the best deal or obtaining a loan with the best terms."

This mentality drives home CPSFL's vision of investing in people, places, and systems so neighborhoods and residents thrive.

"As a nonprofit lender, Community Partners of South Florida offers more than just financial support. We provide competitive fixed-interest rates, flexible terms, and accessible loan options to underserved communities," said CEO Kelly Powell. "Our mission-driven approach focuses on community impact, making us a trusted partner for those seeking both financial assistance and meaningful social change."
