Abstract: The Pre-purchase Homeownership Counseling Demonstration and Impact Evaluation will examine the impact of two different types of pre-purchase counseling and education on homeowner outcomes and loan performance for a sample of 7,000 prospective first-time home buyers with incomes below 120 percent of the area median. This evaluation will measure the impact of two different pre-purchase homeownership counseling and education interventions through a randomized experimental design, including a baseline survey, client tracking data on the homeownership counseling services received, and follow-up surveys and analysis of study participant outcomes, savings, wealth, and loan performance for three to four years after enrollment in the demonstration.
