First-Time Homebuyer Classes (Virtual)

Are you ready to purchase a home? If so, consider participating in the First-Time Homebuyer Program. The University of Florida/Volusia County Extension offers pre-purchase homebuyer workshops that meet the education requirement for those participating in the program. Extension Agent Lisa Hamilton, a HUD-certified housing counselor and accredited financial counselor, will instruct the virtual classes on Microsoft Teams. The classes consist of eight hours of education. Participants will receive a certificate of completion that will enable them to apply for a federal down-payment- and closing-cost-assistance program available through Volusia County, Seminole County, and the City of Deltona. The cost is $10 per household. Scholarships are available upon request. Advance registration is required.
