Homebuyer Education
As a HUD-Approved Counseling Agency, the Denver Housing Authority (DHA) offers a Homeownership Program that helps participants prepare to buy a home.
Our team provides financial assessments to identify any barriers and guides you through setting achievable goals to become “loan ready.” Through this program, more than 200 DHA residents have become homeowners. Participation in these classes does not commit you to work with any DHA counselor, lender, realtor, or mortgage product.
Your Homeownership Roadmap
Money Management
Get on track financially. Our Homeownership team helps you budget, pay down debt, and save smarter.
Credit Management
Good credit is key to buying a home. DHA’s Homeownership team provides free credit reports from all three bureaus and offers personalized counseling to help you understand, improve, and maintain your credit.
Savings
Save more, reach your goals faster! DHA’s Matching Savings Account doubles your savings (up to $1,500) toward buying a home. Plus, Mile High United Way’s IDA supports homeownership, education, and business ventures
