Home Stretch Workshop
Start your homeownership process by attending the Home Stretch Home Buyer Workshop. In this series of four classes incorporates multiple aspects of homeownership from the evaluation of the household’s financial situation to the legal rights of owning a home. During the workshops clients hear from experts in real estate, lending and home inspections. In these sessions, potential homeowners may also receive a credit report and learn how that might affect the mortgage application process.

The workshops explore the following issues:
 Is homeownership an option?
 Cost of renting versus cost of owning
 Loan qualifications
 Is debt a factor?
 Money needed for closing costs
 Overcoming credit debt, income or savings barriers
 Mortgage application process
 How to shop for a home
 Home inspections
 Documents involved in closing

After you have completed the Home Stretch Classes you’ll have the ability to meet with one of our counselors one-on-one to address your individual housing needs and to create a realistic plan for owning a home.

These workshops meet or exceed the standards of FHA, Fannie Mae, HUD, Freddie Mac and the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The cost for all four classes is $20 per person and you must pre-register by calling CAPSH at (952) 933-9639 x281 or by downloading and completeing the links below. We also provide a one-day eight hour class that is $50 and includes lunch.

Please ensure that you will have childcare for each of the sessions before registering for a particular workshop. At CAPSH, we love kids but we are unable to accomodate them in our Homestretch Workshops. If you are unable to arrange for child care, you will need to reschedule for another workshop.
