Homebuyer Education Session Schedule
The following is a tentative schedule:
Monday evenings @ 6:00 PM and Wednesdays @ 10:00 AM. Please call office @ 301-722-6958 to confirm seating.
The CNHS Homebuyer Education Program provides comprehensive home purchase counseling in
a group setting consisting of 5 two-hour sessions totaling 10 hours to receive homebuyer
education certificates. The CNHS Homebuyer Education Program is certified for the State of
Maryland and the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
All applicants requiring homebuyer education should contact the CNHS office immediately to
register for sessions due to limited seating. Sessions may be cancelled or rescheduled if
persons have not registered (by adding their names to the class sign-up sheet). Please
call to confirm your attendance.
To accommodate participants in the program, sessions may be attended out-of-sequence.
Session 2 may be attended prior to Session 1, etc.
Most lenders, including CNHS, require homebuyers to receive homebuyer education
certificates prior to the loan closing. Application for financing may be made at any time.
However, the ideal time to attend homebuyer education sessions is prior to looking for a
home.
All applicants attending Homebuyer Education Classes as a requirement to participate in the CNHS Closing Costs Grant for New Homeowners must contact their lender and let them know that you are receiving a $1,000 grant from CNHS for closing costs, if you meet the income guidelines.
Grant Applications can be obtained at this office, and must be completed in full and
returned to this office with all necessary documents requested as soon as possible. The
NHS Grant must be listed as a credit to the borrower on the HUD-1 Settlement Statement at
closing. Please remit a copy of the HUD -1 Settlement Statement to CNHS within one week
after purchasiing your home.
If you have special needs in regard to climbing stairs, hearing or vision, please call the CNHS office twenty four hours in advance of the sessions to confirm accessibility and support for CNHS services.
