Home Ownership

If you are a homebuyer and have been told by your lender or broker to register for the RMIC/CCCS Pre-Home Ownership Education Course or Landlord Counseling Course choose Pre-Home/RMIC.

Home ownership is a financial goal most families share. It is the largest purchase families are likely to make and one of the most important financial assets they can acquire. Finances aside, it is also an emotional fulfillment, the "American Dream". Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Forsyth County has two unique programs to make that dream a reality, the New Century IDA and The Center for Home Ownership.

New Century IDA

The New Century IDA program uses an asset-building approach to help working families in Forsyth County gain financial independence through home ownership. Consumer Credit Counseling Service is the primary provider of Financial Literacy & Counseling for participants in this program. If you are a resident of Forsyth County and thought you could never own a home, think again!
