Homebuyer Education

The HomeOwnership Promotion Program provides the services and tools a homebuyer needs to purchase the home of their dreams. This includes learning a 10 hour curriculum that teaches a homebuyer about credit and budgeting, shopping for a home and mortgage and maintaining a home. In addition to the class, homebuyers meet with a certified housing counselor to review personal budget and credit situations and develop goals and tasks to prepare for mortgage readiness.

Orientation Sessions

NHSGC holds orientation classes every week as an introduction to our services and programs. Each participant is evaluated as to his or her "mortgage readiness".

Bringing Home the Dream Classes

NHSGC's program is a ten-hour course that covers the basics of how to buy a house. Our classes cover budgeting, credit reports, how to shop for a house, and how to apply and shop for a mortgage and maintaining a home. While this course is designed for families or individuals that are short-term or nearly mortgage ready, we encourage our long-term clients to attend as many of the classes as they want in their route to mortgage readiness.

Private Counseling

Each family that participates in our educational classes will receive sessions with our housing counselor(s) that will allow them to develop a plan for savings and mortgage readiness.
