Home Buyer Classes

HoMEworks educators and HUD approved Housing Counseling agencies

The HoMEworks goal is to provide homeownership education.  Buyers who have taken the home buying classes are more confident about homeownership and loan products, and the education gives buyers the tools they need to avoid predatory lending and possible foreclosure.
