We’re partnering with Community Credit Union to offer a new program starting May 2025 which is designed to support employees earning $50,000–$80,000 annually who aspire to become homeowners. All classes are held locally and are completely FREE to participants. Our 3-part series is designed to provide a pathway to learning about and becoming a homeowner.

1. Homeownership: Is it Right for you?
45 Minute Insight Session
This short, engaging session is the entry point into the series. It helps you understand the pros and cons of owning a home, explore personal goals, and assess your readiness for buying. After the session, you may elect to sign up for one of our two follow up classes (described below) depending on where you are in the journey.
LA AREA EMPLOYERS partner with us to bring this short insight session directly your team(s)! Empower your employees with the knowledge and tools to turn their homeownership dreams into reality. Schedule us for a free 45 minute presentation in-person at your workplace, or virtual session at one, or more convenient times for your teams.

2. Homeownership: Getting Ready Financially
90 Minute Class with Community Credit Union
This class prepares you for the process of financing a home. It helps you understand your current credit and financial profile, and create a strategy and timeline for getting financially ready to pursue your first home.

3. Homeownership: Transitioning from Renting to Owning
12 Hour Class with Healthy Homeworks
This class helps you understand which housing types and ownership models work for you, how to evaluate potential properties and calculate your true cost of ownership, how to manage and maintain your home, and how to put together a great team to support you throughout the process. Upon completion, you receive a certificate that first generation buyers can use to qualify for Maine Housing’s ‘First Generation Mortgage’ Program (PDF download).
