Homeownership Education

NeighborWorks Omaha applauds the latest decision by Congress and the Obama Administration to renew the homebuyer tax credit. We urge homebuyers to seek homeownership education. We feel this education plays a significant role in determining whether or not homeownership is suitable at this time. 

  

If you would like to take advantage of the extension, register for homebuyer education classes through either Family Housing Advisory Services (1-888-573-0495) or Consumer Credit Counseling Services (1-877-494-2227) and let us help you put the pieces together.
