Homebuyer Counseling Services
We offer free homeownership counseling. All our clients work with a counselor to chart a path to homeownership from start to finish. A Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-certified counselor will assess your current situation to determine your mortgage readiness. Together, you will develop an action plan to increase your savings, reduce your debt, and identify the programs that suit you best.
“HDF was a pleasure to work with. They are very educated with their services and the ability to assist people achieve their
dreams of being a homeowner.”

Homebuyer Education
These classes are able to be taken independently of the counseling.

Our 8-hour homebuyer education class is open to everyone! Regardless of where you are in the home-buying process, this class can provide you with valuable insights to guide you forward.
These classes are mandatory for all Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) loan applicants, as well as for some of our other loan programs. Before closing on a home, all HDF borrowers in our first-time homebuyer program must also complete the class.
