The Waterloo Housing Authority offers classes to help residents on their path to homeownership.  Registrations are being accepted for the July Home Buyer Education (HBE) sessions.

HBE offers education to low income families who are interested in purchasing a home. Topics covered in the class include money management, understanding credit, affordability, mortgage, the home search and buyer process.  Participants who complete the class receive a certificate of eligibility for down payment assistance from the City of Waterloo Community Development and other participating agencies. HBE is offered four times a year in the months of January, April, July, and October.

Home Buyer Education classes will be held July 2, 7, 8, 9  from 5:00-7:00pm at the Waterloo Center for the Arts, 225 Commercial Street, Waterloo.  The cost is $20.  Proof of all household income for the past 60 days is also needed to register.

Due to COVID-19 the number of participants is limited. Early registration is encouraged. Registration packets will be available for pick-up in the vestibule at the Waterloo Housing Authority office at 620 Mulberry starting June 15.  The office is open by appointment only.
