Our group education workshops serve many potential homebuyers. Our workshops are geared to provide all the information needed to become a successful mortgage applicant and homeowner. NCFECO Housing workshops always encourage participants to ask plenty of questions. We can also schedule one-on-one counseling for interested participants. Participants must complete eight hours of homeownership counseling. A Homebuyer’s Certificate is then earned at the end of counseling sessions.

NCFECO Housing’s Homebuyer Education seminars and workshops are supported by various funding sources including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as well as many local, regional government agencies, and private national financial services institutions.
