Dear Clients, Friends and Supporters of CAF, We are delighted that you are visiting our website. I am proud to introduce to you our organization, a non-profit agency serving the Latino community. Our mission is to serve as a clearinghouse of information for social and housing related services. Our areas of expertise are housing, homeownership and foreclosure prevention. Following our mission, we have redirected our services to provide one-on-one counseling, case management, loan modification and refinancing and referrals to help ameliorate the current economic crisis in the housing industry. To support our community, we embrace the “Make Home Affordable Program,” a comprehensive initiative announced by the Obama Administration which will allow millions of distressed homeowners to modify or refinance their mortgage loans at no cost. As the last segment of the U.S. population to become investors as homeowners, Latinos have also been the ones severely affected by sub-prime, predatory and abusive lenders.

The goal of this initiative is to strengthening the families by providing  emotional, social and educational support  to improve their quality of life in the areas of financial management, healthy relationships and physical, emotional and environmental health.
Some of the Programs under this initiative include: Casas Sanas, Ninos Sanos/Healthy Homes, Healthy Kids, Elders Program and Domestic violence Program.

On September 25th 2010, a successful Home Rescue Fair was launched in Silver Spring MD, bringing over 165 attendees. CAF was joined in this effort with national partnership with the National Urban League (NUL), National Council of La Raza (NCLR), and the National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (National CAPACD) with the support of Bank of America, the Alliance for Stabilizing our Communities to provide homeowners with additional resources to help them keep their homes. “Our minority communities continue to struggle to keep a roof over their heads,” said Walkiria Pool, president and founder of Centro de Apoyo Familiar
