The Arizona IDA Home Plus & Arizona Is Home Pre-Purchase Homebuyer Education Course Information.
One of the borrowers must complete a pre-purchase homebuyer education course prior to the loan closing. It is recommended the borrower completes this course as early in the process as possible as valuable information on the buying and borrowing process will be covered. The homebuyer education requirement may be met by taking a pre-purchase homebuyer education course through an Arizona Is Home/Home Plus Arizona approved online provider OR in person through a HUD certified homebuyer education provider.
*NOTE: When a homebuyer selects the eHomeAmerica online option, they are required (via the eHomeAmerica process) to select a sponsoring counseling agency, which, in our market, is Trellis, Greater Phoenix Urban League, Greenpath, Money Management, Newtown, and Chicanos por la Causa. The eHomeAmerica course is approved by both the Home+Plus and Arizona Is Home programs, regardless of the sponsoring counseling agency. It should be noted, however, that each of these counseling agencies (Trellis, Greenpath, Greater Phoenix Urban League, Money Management, Newtown, and Chicanos por la Causa) are also approved in-person providers.
