Welcome to The HomeOwnership Center!

Home ownership is a financial goal most families share. It is the largest purchase families are likely to make and one of the most important financial assets they can acquire. Finances aside, it is also an emotional fulfillment, the "American Dream." The Center for Home Ownership is dedicated to helping families turn that dream into reality. Through a collaboration of local, state, and national partnerships, the Center for Home Ownership provides families a single source to:

• Learn about the home buying process
  
• Resolve problems that prevent home ownership
  
• Make contact with community professionals who will assist them
  
• Maintain and enhance the home owning experience

The HomeOwnership Center takes families from where they are to being pre-approved and ready to purchase a home. Family members receive home buyer education classes based upon Fannie Mae approved materials, acquiring the knowledge and the confidence needed to navigate the home buying process and become successful homeowners.

Community professionals make use of the HOC by making themselves available to assist potential home buyers. These professionals include, but are not limited to, loan officers, realtors, insurance agents, title companies, and home inspectors.

Services do not stop with the home purchase; should mortgage problems occur, financial counselors can assist the home owner in finding resolution to mortgage delinquencies and foreclosure threats.

The HomeOwnership Center is a WIN-WIN opportunity for everyone. Families achieve the American Dream, the local tax base is strengthened, neighborhoods and communities grow stronger.

The HOC is certified by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), recognized by Fannie Mae, and local housing providers.
