BOWLING GREEN, Mo. — Despite COVID-19, a local agency is still working with people who want to become homeowners.

The North East Community Action Corporation continues to get calls from Missouri, Illinois and Iowa. The agency points out that buying a home is one of the biggest purchases anyone will ever make, so it’s important to know what you’re doing.

NECAC helps with the process and offers programs that can help. Clients learn about financing, understanding credit, getting a loan and other topics.

More information is available by calling NECAC at 573-324-6622.
