The Housing Council believes that home buyers, facing the largest single investment they will likely ever make, should have access to as much information and technical assistance as possible.

The Housing Council provides classroom training to educate prospective home buyers on key elements of the home purchase process, including: household economics and budgeting, the wise use of credit, working with real estate agents, evaluating mortgage products, home inspections, and household maintenance and upkeep.

ALL persons applying for Home Ownership Grant assistance must attend classes. The Housing Council is a HUD certified Housing Counseling Agency with NeighborWorks® trained educators. In addition, the Housing Council offers popular quarterly post-purchase training programs to reinforce the lessons learned on household finance, maintenance, and upkeep.

To register for our classes, please call the Housing Council offices at 315-386-8576. All classes are conducted at our offices unless otherwise announced.

The First Time Home Buyer Education classes are scheduled monthly and are mandatory for our program. All of our classes are held at our main office: ( directly across the road from the Nice and Easy.)
