Financial education course available for homebuyers
Monday, June 16, 2008 | No comments posted.
Southern Oregon Coast Housing Opportunities Providers will hold a financial education course from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 28, at the North Bend Housing Authority, 1700 Monroe Ave.
SOC-HOP is one of more than 100 NeighborWorks® HomeOwnership Centers serving communities across the nation. Its goal is to give Coos and Curry consumers greater access to financial education.
The registration deadline is June 20.
SOC-HOP’s NeighborWorks HomeOwnership Center provides consumers with one-stop-shop access to homeowner education, financial fitness courses, and foreclosure counseling, among other services, a press release said.
Without access to quality information and guidance, many families can miss opportunities to maximize wealth-building opportunities, or worse, fall into traps that eventually lead to financial ruin, according to a press release.
Personal finance courses teach consumers better money management skills that can help put them on the path to decreasing debt and increasing resources — including long-term home ownership, while creating more financially fit area consumers year-round. Financial literacy can also help consumers become more aware of common pitfalls — including consumer scams and predatory lending practices – and how to avoid them, a press release said.
A Financial Fitness for Life Quiz is available at http://nw.org/network/newsroom/documents/financialFitnessQuiz_000.pdf.
For more information about upcoming financial fitness and home-buying courses, call Valorie Rose at 267-6505.
