By participating in the NFCC Envisioning Homeownership program, you’ll receive critical prepurchase counseling services that will help you achieve long-term homeownership. A dedicated coach will work with you to get you ready for homeownership.
In this program, you’ll work with your homeownership counselor to:
Qualify for a great mortgage and down payment assistance from our partner organizations.
Establish a personalized plan tailored to your unique financial goals for you and your family.
Overcome your current financial challenges including, student loans, credit card and small business debt.
Master the insights and lessons provided by the prepurchase education course.
Once you successfully complete the NFCC Envisioning Homeownership program, you’ll receive an NFCC Mortgage-Ready Certificate, which identifies you as an ideal future homeowner, ready to apply for a mortgage with a lender that participates in the program.
Once you’re mortgage-ready, YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY AND IN CONTROL. We’ll provide you with information about the lenders and other service providers the NFCC has evaluated, approved and selected specifically to support you in the pursuit of your dream through the NFCC Envisioning Homeownership program. Our program partners will work with you as you prepare to purchase a home. They also offer considerable financial incentives such as down payment assistance funding and exclusive incentives for NFCC Mortgage-Ready Certificate* holders who complete the program and qualify for a mortgage.
*Completion of the NFCC Envisioning Homeownership program and receipt of the NFCC Mortgage-Ready Certificate do not guarantee approval for a mortgage. Mortgage applications are subject to lenders’ qualification standards and review processes. However, any lender who participates in our program is ready and has expressed an interest in working with you to achieve your goal of homeownership.
