On the Home Front

Homebuyer
Education Program

Teaching low to moderate-income families and individuals how to buy a house through nonprofit housing providers and local financial institutions.

Home buying is a business and those considering this step should know the facts before signing anything. Our Homeownership Educators and counselors are HUD certified, and our professional volunteers have years of home buying experience.

Our curriculum includes:

  • Budgeting for your home and understanding credit
  • How a mortgage works and what to expect from a home inspector
  • Meet with lenders and nonprofits and learn more about that a realtor can do for you
  • Tour homes that are currently on the market-learn what to look for when you search.
  • Closing the loan with an attorney, insurance, physical/financial management for your new home, and hear from new homeowners

IMPORTANT!
Pre-registration and payment is required. The sliding scale fee is $15 to $55 for the class. Child care is available for an additional small fee.
