Participants in MHCDO's Homebuyers Club (HBC) take a six-week course on financial literacy followed by a six-week course on buying a home.  During the 12-week period, HBC members open a personal savings account to save toward the purchase of a home. 

HBC members who meet income and household requirements may also save money to pay for settlement costs by participating in the Individual Development Account (IDA) program.  Through the IDA program, individuals open an IDA account at a specified local bank with an initial deposit of $400.  IDA participants then develop a monthly savings plan to reach a savings goal.  MHCDO matches $2 for every $1 saved by the IDA participant.
