The Community Action Center, with assistance from local lenders and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, coordinates home buyer education seminars. The seminars are five to six hours on two evenings or a Saturday.
Participants learn about home buying, home finance and home ownership process and challenges.
Completion of the seminar is required to qualify for fist-time home buyer and down payment assistance loans. The workshops are held every Thursday of the month from 2 - 3 pm at the Fairmont Center in Pullman. The Community Action Center is now accepting applications for this loan. Only houses that need the correction of health and safety hazards, provision of handicapped access or cost effective energy conservation improvements are eligible for housing rehabilitation loans.
