Homebuyer Counseling is done 1:1 and can guide you in several areas:

- Receive financial capability coaching
- Review how to create a household budget
- Learn about City of Buffalo programs & other community resources
The best way to get started with Homebuyer Counseling is to sign up for Compass, our Free online information Hub that connects you to resources, allows you to safely upload documents to your counselor, and track your goals.
