Homeownership and Community Lending Courses
&
Professional Certificate Program
Create Stronger Families and Benefit Communities Homeownership has been proven to create stronger families and benefit communities by fostering stability, integrity and economic growth. Changes over the last decade in the availability of flexible lending products has created an opportunity for thousands of low-income families to own their own homes, begin to create family assets and become stakeholders in the future of their communities. Homeownership programs are increasingly an essential component of an effective community-development strategy. Courses in Homeownership and Community Lending
Helping families address the many barriers that prevent them from owning their own home requires a system that supports them before, during, and after the home-buying process. This system includes pre- and post-purchase homebuyer education and flexible loan products that meet today's buyers' needs and creates long-term, successful homeowners and communities. |

Professional Certificates in Homeownership and Community Lending require successful completion of required and elective courses plus passing required course tests, if applicable, and the comprehensive exam at the end of all coursework within four years of application to the Professional Certificate Program. It is possible to complete all program requirements in as few as three institutes. With prior approval candidates may receive credit for relevant courses taken no more than two years prior to enrollment in the program. |
