Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity offers FREE broad-based home buyer classes, which are open to the public! This class series is designed to be most useful for individuals and households interested in future homeownership, but many or all of the classes can benefit almost anyone, including those interested in learning more about household finances such as budgeting and credit scores, basics of home maintenance and energy conservation, as well as income tax preparation, renter’s and homeowner’s insurance, and more!

Presenters include financial counselors and educators from Horizons: A Family Service Alliance, Habitat staff, and other local partners with expertise and passion for the topics they cover.
