If your financial situation does not allow you to step into home purchase right away, KHP provides Financial Fitness Education, offered monthly in four Tuesday evening sessions, to assist those whose home purchase maybe be further down the road but who want to continue to work toward achieving their dream of homeownership. You may seek to have firmer control over your finances, or you may simply want to know how to clean up your credit on your own without having to pay someone else to help you. Financial Fitness Education helps families and individuals by assisting with:

creating a working budget
learning how to create a savings plan
understanding your credit report
correcting credit report errors
resolving delinquency issues
managing difficult finance situations
planning for a better future

Through partnership with the City of Knoxville, funds are available for program participants who complete a six-month family budget (and who meet other program criteria) to enroll in an Individual Development Account (IDA) Savings Program to be matched two dollars for one dollar, up $750.00 over a six-month period. (These savings are to be used for a house down payment.)

If you’re serious about homeownership and want help figuring out your finances, call Knox Housing Partnership today (865-637-1679, ext 223) to enroll in Financial Fitness Training.

Let the KHP staff, with good advice and good humor, help you learn the financial management and planning skills needed to make the most of your income, savings and assets. We want you to stay on the road to your own personal wealth and homeownership.
