Certified Home Ownership Educators can meet with you to identify financing options that best meet your household's needs. If you are not quite ready to purchase a home, for whatever reason, or you've encountered barriers on your road to home ownership, your educator will work with you to create and implement a step-by-step plan to remove these barriers, and help you become a successful homeowner.

To register or for more information, please call 651-646-6393.
