Pathways Home: Train-the-Trainer will instruct participants on how to deliver a comprehensive homebuyer education program designed to help educate prospective Native homebuyers on how to become successful homeowners. The curriculum is specifically tailored for Native American communities.

 

Participants will also learn the most effective methods to help potential homebuyers determine what is best for them; such as, whether to build a new home or to buy an existing one or how to apply for a loan? Other areas covered in this curriculum include: understanding the mortgage loan process, how to prepare a family budget, how to improve credit profiles, how to avoid the pitfalls of predatory lending, foreclosure prevention strategies, and how the family can maintain the home and their personal finances after the purchase.

 

The instructors specialize in homebuyer education and include culturally relevant teaching techniques in the classroom. Successful completion of this course and examination will result in a three-year instruction certification.

 

Pathway Participant Manual

Homeownership is one of the first steps taken to build healthy and vibrant communities. Pathways Home: A Native Homeownership Guide is the beginning of a journey to bring Native communities the resources they need to make homeownership a reality. These guides are intended to provide the backbone for a Native homeownership program that can be tailored to each Native community's need. 

 

When homeownership training is presented in the context of one's own culture, the material becomes relevant and connected to the economic vitality and sovereignty of the community. As community members go through the homeownership process, they feel pride in their accomplishments and more connected to the community that they call home.
