The Homebuyer Education Program
The Homebuyer Education Program is designed to support and educate homebuyers about the process and responsibilities involved in pursuing, purchasing, and owning a home. Attending classes and acquiring certification is a requirement of affordable homeownership programs as well as many loan packages for first-time homebuyers.
We have combined our efforts with other community organizations in order to better serve our applicants. Future classes will be conducted by the organizations listed below. Please contact each agency directly for more information.

Land Trust Orientation
The orientation allows us to explain the program and process for buying a Land Trust home. This explanation differs from the Homebuyer Education series and is required in by our Homeownership Program. These orientations last approximately one hour and are held twice a month in the Land Trust office.
In an effort to accommodate various schedules we provide the orientations on Wednesday afternoons at lunchtime, Friday at the end of the work day and occasionally on Saturday afternoons. After the Wednesday sessions we set aside two hours to conduct one on one intake sessions with current and potential applicants to receive and review applications, discuss individual situations and ideal next steps in the process. These meetings can be scheduled by individuals / households with active applications on file or completed applications to be reviewed at the meeting.
