SHIP Classes

The University of Florida Extension Service in Holmes and Washington Counties will offer the following Homebuyer Education classes for 2007-2008 SHIP program applicants.  All Applicants in Holmes and Washington Counties are REQUIRED to complete all three sections of the Homebuyer Education Program before they can receive Ship Funds.

The purpose of the class is to help the applicant better understand the homebuying process, financial responsibilities of home ownership, and basic home care and maintenance techniques to maintain the value of their home.  Applicants will receive a notebook for each class section to keep to use for reference.

The classes are free of charge and open to SHIP applicants in both Holmes and Washington Counties.  If you are filing jointly with another person, i.e. husband and wife, both of you should attend the classes, if possible. 

Pre-registration is REQUIRED.  Please call (850) 638-6265 or (850) 547-1108 to register.
