About Us
Our Mission
Established in 2004 as a North Carolina IRS 501©3, the Centre for Homeownership and Economic Development Center (CHOEDC) was created to help advance community development and economic development in both urban and rural communities. CHOEDC’s mission is to provide support and innovative approaches that focus on disaster recovery, health, economic stability, affordable housing, financial independence, jobs, business development, and small business lending.
In the Wilmington area, our Disaster Recovery Center serves Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Cumberland, Duplin, Jones, New Hanover, Pender, and Roberson County due to the damages from Hurricane Florence in 2018.
