Did you know that Extension has an entire team dedicated to homebuyer education?

It's true. In 2025, the team worked with nearly 2,000 families to equip them with resources and information they needed to reach their goal of homeownership.

Because of their work, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency recently named the team as a top partner. Kudos on this recognition!

Reach out to your local Extension office to inquire about homebuyer education workshops near you.
