Congrats to the Latest Texas Statewide
Homebuyer Education Program Participants
|
|
|
TSAHC would like to congratulate the housing counselors who successfully completed the Texas Statewide Homebuyer Education Program February 6th - 10th in Austin. The
34 housing counselors pictured above represent
31 organizations in
17 cities across Texas, and we're proud to say that
100% of them would recommend the training to others.
TSAHC partnered with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, the state agency legislatively responsible for the program, to provide this training.
Thank you to our sponsor,
Bank of America, and the education provider,
NeighborWorks America, for making this training a big success.
Thanks to Bank of America's support, TSAHC was able to subsidize 90% of each counselor’s tuition fees and provide 13 hotel scholarships for counselors traveling from out of town.

Tax season is upon us, and let's be honest, for most people there's not much to get excited about when it comes to doing your taxes. But at TSAHC, we actually love this time of year. That's because tax season is the perfect opportunity to remind home buyers about our Mortgage Credit Certificate Program and the savings that could be in their future.

Female and Single? This Could Be Your Year to Buy a Home

The number of single women buying homes is on the rise. According to data collected by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), single women now make up 17% of all home buyers, while single men represent a mere 7%. And while married couples still make up the majority (66%) of home buyers, the percentage of single women buying homes just hit its highest point since 2011.
