Viera is a planned community in central Brevard and home to the Brevard County Government Center.
If your credit score is lower than you would like, you might feel embarrassed, or like owning a home is for other people. Credit can drop for many reasons: a medical bill, a job loss, a divorce, or simply never having used credit much. A score is a number about your past bills. It is not a judgment of who you are.
