Effective consumer financial education and counseling supports sustainable homeownership. Through our strong partnership with The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),  we provide a wide range of in-class and online training for homeownership counselors and managers to support this work. HUD provides significant scholarship funding for the homeownership industry, making it possible for NeighborWorks to provide some of our training tuition-free.

Please stay tuned for additional details as we retool our university partnerships. We anticipate exciting higher education benefits to come soon!
