home changes everything

Our Mission: Making strategic investments in people and real estate to create communities of choice.

Life-changing programs and services.

Neighborhood Housing Services of Birmingham, Inc (NHSB) is a charter member of NeighborWorks America, and a HUD-approved Housing Counseling Agency. We create opportunities for people to own affordable homes, improve their lives, and strengthen their communities. 

NHSB’s core programs include the Home Ownership Center, which offers first-time homebuyer education, individualized pre-purchase financial counseling, and foreclosure prevention services. NHSB also administers the Healthy Housing Initiative (HHI), which supports owner-occupants through critical home repair grants and HomeWise workshops designed to help families remain safely housed and preserve assets for future generations.

Together, these programs reflect NHSB’s balanced approach to people-centered services and responsible real estate investment.

Community Impact

Since 2010, NHSB has leveraged more than $60 million in private, philanthropic, and public investment; helped create or preserve more than 1,000 homeowners; and provided counseling and education to over 6,300 individuals. NHSB has also developed, repaired, or preserved dozens of owner-occupied and rental homes across the Birmingham area.

Homewise 2026

The HomeWise Expo is NHSB’s signature community event connecting Birmingham homeowners with practical education, trusted experts, and resources to maintain homes, protect wealth, and remain safely housed.
