Program, which partners with business owners to equip members of their company with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the path to homeownership.
What is the H.O.M.E. Program?
The Homeownership Mentoring & Education Program, also known as H.O.M.E., offers interactive workshops led by experienced local professionals in the mortgage and real estate industry. The workshops delve into all aspects of the homebuying process, from finding the perfect property to navigating the closing process, and even essential homeownership maintenance tips.

Program walk away feeling empowered and equipped to make informed decisions throughout the homebuying journey. “I have heard participants say that they were really encouraged by the H.O.M.E. workshops. They felt like homeownership was attainable after attending,” said Carla Holmes, Community Financial Engagement Loan Officer with TowneBank Mortgage. “Others remarked how fun and inspiring they are.”
