If you can’t make our Saturday workshop, another option for homebuyers would be to enroll in the eHome online course, which is self-paced. eHome also qualifies for a certificate. Meanwhile, if you are not sure you’re ready to embark on the homebuying process, we encourage you to register for HIP’s free, 1-hour virtual Orientation Session on Zoom on Wednesdays from 7-8PM for a quick overview.
NOTE – The Orientation Session is introductory only and will not qualify for a certificate.
Housing Initiative Partnership (HIP) is a HUD-approved counseling agency.
