Homebuyer Education

On the Rise Financial Center, in partnership with 1st Choice Credit Union, a HUD approved intermediary Home Counseling Agency, is committed to increasing homeownership, creating affordable housing opportunities for low-income individuals/families; particularly among minorities.

As a preferred counseling agency with relationships with several community partners, we offer special down-payment assistance for anyone in the general public, people with disabilities, as well as individuals working in select industries:

Education

Health Care

Law Enforcement

Military

 

Understanding the home buying process can be a challenging experience for a first-time homebuyer. Purchasing a home is one of the most valuable investments a family will ever make. However, being more informed prior to making that purchase typically eases the home buying experience and ultimately strengthens the borrower’s ability to obtain and maintain their American dream of homeownership.

Our service areas

On the Rise is located within the community, and our coaches can come to your facility to do classes. Book an appointment with a coach for a 1-1 opportunity. (Recommended for people to work on their own finances and work on a strategy that best suits them.)

Request Professional Development for Your Staff

Community partner agencies with Credit Practitioners can request training and onboarding services through GABC.

 

In collaboration with Crediting Building Alliance, GABC will offer Credit As An Asset workshop, which is designed to help non-profit community-based organizations enhance their understanding of credit building as an asset building strategy, as well as, learn best practices in credit education.

  • The importance of good credit history as a financial asset

  • The value of credit reports as a credit education and credit-building tool

  • Promoting access to responsible financial products

  • Measuring client credit outcomes
