Mid Central Community Action, Inc. (MCCA) rolled out its new online homebuyer education program this week. For the first-time since the inception of the program, which has been operating for more than ten years, first time home buyers within the agency’s expanded service area will be able to access HUD Certified home buyer education course online.
With the new online presence also comes increased access to down payment assistance funding of up to $5,000. Income-eligible participants can use this forgivable grant towards either down payment funds on a first home or closing costs incurred as the result of the purchase of a first home.
Anyone interested in learning more about this new on-line class may visit the Homebuyer Education page, or contact the housing department directly at (309) 834-9245 (English) or (309) 834-9254 (Spanish).
Regardless of whether you are a first-time home buyer or an existing home owner ready to make your next home purchase, MCCA urges you to seek home ownership education from a HUD-approved nonprofit organization, like MCCA, before purchasing a home.
