Homeownership Education

Educating first-time home buyers and existing homeowners about the process of buying a home, maintaining it, paying the mortgage, and saving up reserves for repairs is a crucial element to a successful homeownership program. The primary resources for homeownership education in Tompkins County are the Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services and Better Housing for Tompkins County. Both organizations offer a variety of homeownership classes and seminars.
