Baldwin County residents interested in becoming homeowners can learn more about the process during a free educational class scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 5.

The Baldwin County Commission Grants Department, in partnership with Lifelines Counseling Services, will host the Homeownership Education Class from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Baldwin County Central Annex Auditorium, 22251 Palmer St. in Robertsdale.

The class is open to applicants of the county's Homeownership Assistance Program (HAP) as well as anyone interested in learning more about preparing to purchase a home.

The program is designed to provide information and education to help prospective homeowners better understand what it takes to prepare for homeownership.

There is no charge to attend.

The county's Homeownership Assistance Program is designed to help low- to moderate-income families achieve homeownership by covering the gap between what they can afford and the actual cost of a home. The program may be an option for Baldwin County residents who want to purchase a home but need financial assistance to make it possible.
