Become a Homeowner

The Homeownership Program at MEDA provides low- and- moderate-income first-time homebuyers with relevant financial education, credit counseling, and information on mortgage assistance programs.    
MEDA offers the following services to help you achieve homeownership:

• First Time Homebuyer Education:  Workshops on the process of buying a home, repairing your credit and saving for your down payment.

• Individual Counseling:  One-on-one counseling helps you analyze your budget, savings, credit history, and mortgage readiness. 

• Long-term Counseling: On-going counseling is available to help you through all stages of the home buying process: setting your goals, becoming pre-approved for a mortgage loan, the escrow process, and maintaining your home over the long term.

• Resources for First-Time Homebuyers:  MEDA clients have access to our network of qualified lenders and Realtors who specialize in first-time homebuyers and the many special programs available through the City and the State.  Clients also receive regular mailings announcing affordable homes for sale in San Francisco.

• For more information on First- time Homebuyer Programs please visit the San Francisco Mayors Office of Housing or California Housing Finance Agency

All services are FREE, bilingual (English–Spanish) and offered in two locations: Mission & Excelsior.
