2.  Certification Class - Monday, August 25 & Thursday, August 28, 2008,  
5:00-9:00pm at the Bayanihan Community Center – 1010 Mission Street near 6th Street   (An 8-hour certification from a Homeownership Program is a requirement for many first-time homebuyer loans and government programs.)

3. Individual Counseling Session – 1-2 hours

4. Follow-up & Post-Purchase Counseling

In the class, we will review the steps in purchasing a home including:

• Preparing for homeownership
• Getting a Mortgage
• Shopping for a Home
• Keeping your Home and Managing your Finances

We will also provide information about first time homebuyer programs available in San Francisco and how they work, and provide individual counseling support after you receive the certification.

The certification class is required for families wishing to apply for most of the affordable homeownership properties available in SF. No charge to attend class!
