Reaching the Dream -- Training
In order to reach as many potential first-time homebuyers as possible,
FBCOs across the country must receive quality homeownership education.
To this end, CFBCI has engaged experienced home-buyer education
trainers to work with FBCOs in each of the five Reaching the Dream
cities - Albuquerque, Atlanta,
Chicago, Nashville,
and Portland -over a two-day period in
the winter and spring of 2004. While the training will focus on
homeownership services, it will be tailored to the unique needs
of each of these cities. The curriculum will include topics such
as Understanding Credit, Financing Your Home, Buying Your First
Home, and Understanding the Closing.
The purpose of the training is to empower FBCOs to:
![Quote: Homeownership increases personal well-being and is a symbol of social status, thought to increase the homeowner's self-esteem and overall satisfaction; the greater privacy it provides may allow the owner to feel a greater sense of control over his or her life. -- from the Urban Policy Brief](../images/training_pullquote.gif) |
