Education

We’re committed to providing ongoing education for people on their journey to homeownership. 

In addition to our Wider Path in-person classes in faith-based organizations and to the classes our lenders provide through Community Allies, and our Wider Path in-person classes in faith-based organizations, we provide these starter ongoing educational resources for people on their journey to homeownership. If you are a first-time homebuyer or if you are strengthening your knowledge on homeownership and budgeting/saving, credit, etc., please enjoy our starter videos with links that lead to education on History, Financial Education, Generational wealth, Homebuyer Stories and Community Development. Dive in and explore the world of homeownership, its challenges, and triumphs, and how it could work for you.
