FINANCIAL AND HOMEBUYER EDUCATION PROGRAMS: As part of the homeownership process, we believe financial education builds a more solid foundation for long-term personal success and helps alleviate any concerns or barriers on the path to homeownership. During these financial education classes, we cover topics such as budgeting; credit cards and credit reports; debt and loans; saving, investing, and planning for the future; emergency situations; and Habitat homeowner mortgages. A more in-depth understanding of these important concepts is a tool that can be used to build a better future. overall, Habitat Kokomo has conducted more than 10 financial and homebuyer workshops in FY2023.

HOME PRESERVATION PROGRAM: Our home preservation program is an outreach initiative that seeks to provide a wide range of opportunities for low- to moderate-income homeowners, including veterans and seniors who are struggling to maintain their homes because of age, disability or family circumstances. We partner with families to help them reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. The program allows families to stay in their home and avoid the uncertainty, trauna, and expense of moving. Projects consist of interior and/or exterior repairs intended to alleviate critical health, life, and safety issues or code violations. Volunteer teams work along with subcontractors under the direction of Habitat Kokomo staff members to complete the repairs. Since the inception of the home preservation program, Habitat Kokomo has partnered with X local homeowners, with X homeowners served during FY2023.
