About this Event
The Homebuyer Education Class is a 5-hour fun and interactive class covering topics on:

This class is held in person on Saturday, November 1, 2025 from 9am to 4pm with a break for lunch.
It is required that you and anyone else on the future loan attend the full 6-hour class, which entitles you to a MSHDA, HUD, or other program certification, that is valid for one year. Certificates will be granted directly to you to pass onto a lender or program staff. We will keep records of your attendance as verification.
In addition to the registration via Eventbrite, the intake packet must be filled out and it will be linked in the confirmation email upon registration.
