What is HOND?

HOND is a non-profit corporation that promotes fair housing. HOND is governed by a Board of Directors composed of a cross-section of business and community representatives (see Our Board page).

We know that fair housing opens doors of opportunity. To communicate this belief, HOND focuses its activities around the following functions:

HOND also works closely with government agencies including FDIC, HUD, State Human Relations Office and Commission, the City of Wilmington and New Castle County.

DIRECT ASSISTANCE: HOND provides assistance and counseling to individuals who believe they are victims of unfair housing practices. HOND works with community groups and counseling agencies that are interested in fair housing.
