Classes Being Offered for Potential Homebuyers

One of our partners, Piedmont Housing Alliance, offers a variety of free classes on homebuying and down payment assistance. These classes are offered all throughout the year, however, if you are interested, their next virtual classes will be on August 10 and August 24. In these classes, you will learn about down payment assistance, such as the down payment loan program, SPARC program, and pre-purchase counseling. Participants are encouraged to ask questions about these different programs to find out how they can work for them.
