The First Time Home Buyer Education classes offered by Project Home and GreenPath, Inc. allow first time home buyers to learn about homeownership in an environment that encourages questions and protects the potential home buyer from being solicited. They learn the pros and cons of home ownership, money management skills, credit issues, how to choose a realtor and lender, down payment assistance programs, shopping of a home and obtaining financing from industry professionals and educators.

To receive funds for most down payment assistance programs, potential homeowners must complete education and/or counseling. This program is designed to meet the National Industry Standards for Home Ownership Education and Counseling created by the National Advisory Council of NeighborWorks® America. Our course is 7 hours of face-to-face group education and 1 hour of 1-on-1 counseling. All homebuyers in the household must attend both sessions in full and a 1 hour counseling appointment at GreenPath to receive their completion certificate.

*First Time Homebuyer Courses are generally free. However, there are a few exceptions. Some community down payment/closing cost programs allow the counseling agency providing the education to receive a fee for service. Please check with GreenPath to determine if a fee is associated with your down payment/closing cost program funding source. The fee is collected at the closing and appears on the HUD-1 Settlement Statement.
