The Home Buyer Education Program is a comprehensive program that is based on standardized curriculum. The classes are currently being implemented by the Neighborhood Housing Services of San Antonio (NHS). The Homebuyer Education Program is based on the elements of counseling and educating through the NeighborWorks® HomeOwnership Center. The key components are ongoing pre & post purchase homebuyer classes and foreclosure prevention counseling. The counseling part of the program may involve one session or there may be ongoing sessions for up to two years, depending on the needs of the client. Pre purchase and post-purchase workshops are monthly and they cover: household financial management, home repair and maintenance methods.
