HPT’s Homebuyer Program is comprehensive and encompasses everything from a client’s initial interest, working with a lender and realtor through the home search process, offering guidance on negotiating the contract, understanding inspections, providing insight and imparting skills that will help the individual or family choose an affordable home that is right for them.
An HPT staff member goes along with program participants to the closing table and continues to work with the family for five years post-home purchase to ensure that they have a strong understanding of their responsibilities and to prevent any potential for default through post purchase education and case management.
Clients of the program can work with any lender and realtor they choose. The home is not restricted to a specific neighborhood or zip code. Options include single detached houses, condominiums, duplexes and in some cases mobile homes. The program is very flexible to meet a wide range of affordable housing options.
Through various grants and partnerships, HPT offers group classes and individual counseling on the following topics:
HPT staff can also provide the FDIC Money Smart curriculum for partners upon request. The team participates in numerous outreach events throughout the year.
