First-Time Homebuyers Application Schedule
The FTHB Application Session is final step in the application process for the First-Time Homebuyers Program. In order to register you must have already completed the two hour Orientation Session, a six hour VHDA Class, and have a fully completed and signed Lender Conditional Pre-Approval Letter. Please do not attempt to register unless you have already completed the first three steps and are able to provide a fully completed and signed FTHB Application provided in the Red Folder at Orientation with ALL accompanying documentation, including a VHDA Diploma and Lender Conditional Pre-Approval Letter.
To register you must bring the documents listed below into the
Homeownership Resource Center during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. on Monday-Friday except Wednesdays. On Wednesdays you may
come between 1:00-3:00 p.m. Staff will review your documents and if
they are incomplete they will be returned to you. You will then need to
come back once you have all of the required documents. Once your
documents are complete you will be scheduled for an application session
presentation. Until you receive confirmation, you are not considered
registered for the session and therefore should not attempt to
attend.
You should allow up to two (2) hours as the presentation is followed by
a question and answer session. You should arrive for your appointment
approximately 15-minutes before the scheduled start time. No one will be
admitted to the session 15-minutes after the scheduled start time. No
children are allowed to attend the session.
