Homebuyer Education Classes

Everything you need to know

jump start your journey

Homebuyer education (HBE) classes are open to everyone, whether you’ve already applied for a mortgage or not. In fact, no matter where you are in the home buying process, this 8-hour course will boost your skills and knowledge of the homebuying process.

HBE classes are mandatory for CHFA loan applicants under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program, and may be required for other loan programs as well. All HDF borrowers in our First Time Homebuyer Program must complete an 8-hour Home Buyer Education Class before closing.
