About The Workshops

PRG's homebuyer workshops—offered in partnership with the Home Ownership Center—walk you through the home buying process. They include information on:

• working with lenders
• credit and budgeting
• special loan programs
• working with realtors
• home inspections
• what to expect at a closing
• being a successful homeowner

Attending a nine-hour homebuyer workshop (usually in two or three sessions) is recommended before scheduling one-on-one counseling, and is required by most lenders offering special loan programs. And it's a great way to learn to make good choices as a first-time homebuyer.

The workshops are presented in English. Interpreters are also available for other languages.

Workshops are open to any person or family thinking about buying a home. There is no minimum or maximum income limit. To cover the cost of supplies (including a detailed workbook you can keep), we charge a one-time fee of $35 per household.
