HomeWorksMaintaining Your Housing Investment

Program description
Post-purchase education is an important part of any home-ownership
program to facilitate home maintenance and retention. The initial
months of home ownership can offer challenges as great as the purchase
process. Home owners may not provide necessary maintenance to upkeep
their dwelling which could result in serious deterioration, they
could fall behind on their mortgage payment, save inadequately for
home repairs and renovation, and they could over extend themselves
through home equity payments due to lack of training on financial
management. This educational program is based on the assumption
that it is critical to provide support in home care and financial
management to new homeowners, particularly households who have no
previous experience with home owning.
This is a program for first time homebuyers and other homeowners
about basic home repairs, maintenance, and financial management
necessary to successfully maintain a home.
Target audience
The target audience for the program implementation workshops will
be the first time home buyers, any home owner interested in home
retention and maintenance issues, home repair and maintenance related
professionals/agency members and lenders.
Anticipated outcomes
Homeowners who attend this program will gain information necessary
to successfully maintain homeownership through knowledge and skill
gained in home maintenance and basic care, home inspection, energy
management, and financial management.
