Financial and homebuyer education programs: as part of the homeownersip process, we belive financial education builds a more solid foundation for long-term personal success and helps alleviate any concerns or barriers on the path to homeownership. In partnership with community groups and local businesses, financial education classes 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.
