Homebuyer Education Workshops

For families dreaming of owning their own home, but uncertain about how to make that dream a reality, the Central Nebraska Housing and Economic Developers (CNHED) is conducting REACH-Approved Homebuyer Educational workshops. REACH (Readiness-Education-Awareness Collaborative for Homebuyers and Homeowners) was established in 1997 to remove the barriers to homeownership through a statewide education delivery system, enhancing the success of homebuyers in achieving and maintaining homeownership. Nearly 60% of households become homebuyers within one year of completing a homebuyer education program delivered by a certified REACH Affiliate.
