私たちの歴史
WHRCは、 Community Home Ownership Center (CHOC) in 1995 by members of the Seattle Mortgage Bankers Association, the Washington State Housing Finance Commission (WSHFC), and non-profit housing agencies, all of whom shared the goal of connecting the community to resources necessary to break down the barriers to successful homeownership.
CHOC served as a Puget Sound-area clearinghouse of resources available to first-time homebuyers and homeowners, particularly those with low-to-moderate incomes.
In 1999, CHOC expanded its service area to the entire state of Washington and launched a statewide toll-free hotline. The Community Home Ownership Center changed its name to the Washington Homeownership Resource Center (WHRC) in 2008.
2008年の住宅ローン危機の発生に伴い、WHRCのホットラインへの電話は、住宅購入に関する情報を求める消費者から差し押さえの防止に関する情報を求める消費者へと大幅にシフトしました。
これに応えて、WHRCは、ホットラインを通じて利用できる住宅所有者サポートサービスに差し押さえ防止カウンセリングと法的援助を追加しました。 2011年、WHRCは、差し押さえ公正法に規定された州全体の無料の差し押さえ防止ホットラインを運営するために選ばれ、当社のサービスポートフォリオにおける差し押さえ防止の役割を固めました。
景気後退後の回復を通じて、WHRCはワシントンの住宅所有者の新たなニーズに応え続けています。税金の差し押さえに関連する住宅の損失を防ぐことは、WHRCの3番目の重要な紹介となっています。郡の会計および査定人および法的援助機関との強力な紹介パートナーシップは、固定資産税の義務を果たすのに苦労している住宅所有者をサポートします。これらの住宅所有者は圧倒的に高齢の住宅所有者であるため、高齢者を免税プログラムに結び付け、高齢者の免税の拡大を提唱するために、シニアセンターおよびAARPとの強力なパートナーシップを構築しました。

I wanted to email you, and thank you for the excellent service I received from Susanna Martini. Throughout our talk, she was professional and warm. Also, she took extra time to make me feel comfortable. I truly appreciated her sense of humor as she helped route me to someone that could answer my questions. In a world that seems to have forgotten how to hold a conversation without emojies and acronyms, Susanna is a real asset to your company and deserves praise and a raise!WHRC Hotline Caller, Benton, WA
I called and spoke to one of your employees, Susanna Martini. I was inquiring on some homeownership advice and felt very lost and confused about exactly what I needed to ask for and embarrassed because I did not know how to explain what I needed. When I spoke with Susanna, she was so friendly and made me feel very comfortable discussing my situation. Susanna was very understanding and was very positive when I was unsure of questions I was asked. Susanna made me smile throughout our conversation and I felt better about my situation after speaking with her. Susanna is an awesome employee and I appreciate the kindness and concern she showed me.

I wanted to reach out because I had what I believed to be an unsolvable situation with a property of mine that is scheduled to be foreclosed on. I panic, called your number and was connected to Susanna. Not only did she listen patiently to my panic'd nonsense, but she went above and beyond to ensure I was connected to a counselor due to the urgency of my circumstances. Through this call, I was able to reach a solution and avoid foreclosure. I am beyond thankful for Susanna and organizations like yours that provide trustworthy solutions for people in this predicament. WHRC Hotline Caller, King County
I just wanted to let you know that I talked to Susanna today about getting help with my mortgage. She was extremely helpful and gave me the list of agencies I could contact for help. She connected me with All Things Homes which, when talking to them, eased my mind considerably. I really appreciated her help, she made me feel less alone with this issue. Thank you to her and you for all of your help and reassurance. I'm very grateful. I wish I had known about your agency before this. But I'm glad I do now.WHRC Hotline Caller, King County
