Pre-Purchase Counseling

Our program helps prepare potential first time homebuyers to become mortgage ready. We offer both individual and group pre-purchase counseling services. The topics include:

  • budget preparation
  • credit history evaluation
  • loan packaging
  • selecting a home
  • financing your home
The additional costs associated with buying a home can be a barrier for buyers with limited income. For qualified buyers that complete our program, we also offer some Down payment and Closing Cost Assistance through partnerships with IHDA and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Buyers can receive up to $35,000 to help with costs.
