Homebuyer Education

Dunbar Economic Development Corporation provides homebuyer education counseling and related economic education (wealth building) programs to individuals and families with low to moderate incomes. The pre and post homeownership counseling and education program is a mutually supportive and educational process that helps to build responsible homeowners by providing them with information to enable them to become and remain homeowners. The purpose is to provide on-going support to motivate, encourage, and assist potential homeowners in overcoming barriers to purchase a home. The curriculum has been tailored to best meet the needs of the Vernon Central community, and includes educational materials, interactive activities, real life examples, and terminology, which is crucial before and after purchasing a home. Sessions are conducted in both English and Spanish.
