HELP Community Development Corporation (HELP CDC) is a faith-based organization located in the oldest black incorporated municipality in America—Eatonville, Florida –established in 1887.
The agency was created by the Life Center Church founders, after identifying a need in this community.
We have since grown to providing financial education/counseling, in addition to housing counseling programs.
- Our mission is to engage in activities which are intended to lead to improvement in the low- to moderate-income communities we serve. We accomplish improvement through inspiring economic development, affordable housing projects, homeownership education and counseling, financial skills training and education in order to build security, stability and wealth.
- Our vision is to be a revitalized community where people prosper and contribute to community success.
