Fall 6-Week Financial Education Course
Coming Soon: Fall 6-Week Financial Education Course
This fall, in partnership with Seacoast Bank, Habitat Lake-Sumter will be hosting a 6-week financial education course. Course subjects include Budgeting and Money Management, Savings, Fraud Protection, Credit Management, Debt Management, and Homebuying Basics, with additional information about Habitat’s Home Ownership program.
If you wish to take the financial education course, the course application will be on our website on Monday, August 12th. The course will be held online and begins in September. If you attend all classes, you’ll receive a certification of completion. You can provide the certificate to Habitat staff when applying for the homeownership program so they know you would make a great top candidate for a Habitat home. If you are approved for a home within two years of taking this course, we will also credit your time spent on the course towards your required sweat equity!
