HOMEBUYER UNIVERSITY (February)
Homebuyer University (February 6th-27th)
Habitat Chicago’s public Homebuyer University will prepare you with the knowledge, tools, and resources to be able to successfully purchase your first home. This course is taught by experts in the homebuying industry in a neutral, low-pressure setting. You will learn the steps of the homebuying process, identify your homeownership goals, and create an action plan for financial and lending readiness. By the end of the course, you will have a clear path to pursue your homeownership goals.
Homebuyer University is open to the public, and anyone is welcome to enroll in the course. Please note that Homebuyer University is separate from our Affordable Homeownership Program and participation does not constitute a loan application with Habitat Chicago. Additionally, participation in this course does not substitute for the education requirements of the Affordable Homeownership Program.
Enroll
Registrations will open approximately 6 weeks before the start of class.
Program Classes
Classes will take place virtually Thursday evenings over the course of three weeks with an optional fourth week:
- February 6 | Your Homebuying Journey (6:00 pm – 8:30 pm)

- February 27 | Homeownership Resources (6:00 pm – 8:30 pm) (this class is optional but highly recommended)
The Homebuyer University course covers interconnected topics about the homebuying process and so it is important that students attend every class in the series.

By preparing for each class and working through your personalized action plans, you can get the most out of the program.
