Increasingly, housing costs in many areas are
exceeding the financial reach of many low-to-moderate-wage
earners; such as, service-sector employees, entry-level staff and
essential health personnel, as well as teachers, police officers
and firefighters. Additionally, as many REALTORS® and lenders
know, minorities and new immigrants often fall victim to
discrimination and predatory lending practices. There are
financial programs and tools that can help address the problem of
affordability and you can learn about them. Develop your
knowledge and expertise to serve this important and growing
market by taking the steps to become WHC.
Workforce Housing Certified (WHC) REALTORS® are
specially trained to receive customer inquiries on workforce and
affordable housing finance programs for selected
jurisdictions. To obtain your WHC Certification all you
need to do is attend the classes on February 6th & 20th!
