NWNEN was off to having a regular year of housing production until the COVID-19 Pandemic arrived.  The offices were closed part of the year, only meeting with clients electronically.  Even with the pandemic present NWNEN was able to surpass the goal of 20 homes developed through the Purchase/Rehab/Resell Program.  There were 23 homes sold in 2020.  The development of Nor-Park continued its success, there were 15 Tri-Plexes, 4 Townhomes, 7 Single-Family homes and 28 Apartment Units sold or rented.  An additional 11 Single-Family homes, 4 Townhomes and 28 Apartments under construction at the end of the 2020 year.  Also, NWNEN dedicated the naming of “Ferguson Drive” in the Nor-Park Subdivision in honor of long time President/Board Member – Joe Ferguson. 

Offices continued to remain open even though the COVID Pandemic continued.  All customers were served with their needs.  NWNEN became more involved in the USDA Loan Packaging Program and was approved to be a USDA Intermediary.  Two staff members received their certifications to be HUD Certified Counselors.  Production of the Purchase/Rehab/Rehab Program was slow due to the housing inventory.  We had funding and customers but continued to be a struggle to identify houses that fit the customers budget and the ability to submit offers to get accepted.  Nor-Park continued to be built out.  Discussions and plans were in process to develop a housing project on the former Courtesy Ford site in Norfolk.  The year ended with Brian Christensen being term limited on the Board of Directors and for serving President for 10 years.
