First Time Home Buyer Education

Since 1991, QCAP has helped thousands of people realize their dream of owning a home through comprehensive First Time Home Buyer (FTHB) education. QCAP’s FTHB workshop takes place over the course of two sessions for a total of nine hours. They are held at various times throughout the year. Advanced registration is required and each participant is charged $30. Please see the QCAP calendar of events for upcoming workshop information.

Graduates of QCAP’s FTHB workshops receive a certificate of completion and may qualify for a variety of mortgages through Massachusetts Housing Partnership or MassHousing as well as through conventional lending sources. QCAP also provides one-on-one counseling for potential First Time Homebuyers who are looking for more individualized assistance.
