Financial Empowerment Education and Counseling
Do you want to buy a home, but require coaching necessary to build credit, budgeting, and savings in preparation for homeownership? If the answer is yes, our Financial Empowerment Education and Counseling program is where you should begin. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive one-on-one virtual coaching and counseling from a HUD-certified Homeownership Advisor to help plan a path to homeownership.
The non-refundable fee for Financial Empowerment Education and Counseling is $50 per individual and $65 for two individuals that plan to purchase a home together. This fee includes a credit report and scores from all three credit bureaus, the required series of financial literacy classes and unlimited one-on-one counseling sessions.
Please note that class capacity is limited to 50 participants.
Homebuyer Education Course
The Homebuyer Education Course or, Framework Online Homebuyer Course, is required by several providers of first-time homebuyer loan products and may also be required as part of a down payment assistance option.
The course provides prospective homeowners with a comprehensive overview of the homebuying process and is offered in English and Spanish. After completing the Framework Online Homebuyer Course, participants will understand the mortgage loan process, credit reporting, how to find a home, insurance, home inspections, and information about down payment assistance.
