Obtaining a Certificate of Completion

To receive a Certificate of Completion for the Pre-Purchase Homebuyer Education and Housing Counseling Program, the following steps are required:

Complete the online homebuyer education class
After you have completed the online homebuyer education class, Contact Frameworks CDC to schedule a one-on-one housing counseling session. Shortly after speaking with the administrator, you will receive an email with the list of required documents needed to facilitate the housing counseling appointment, and when all documents are required to be received. The email will also includes a link which enables you to purchase your credit report, which should also occur 3 business days prior to your scheduled housing counseling appointment.
Prepare for and complete your housing counseling session

A housing counseling session is required to receive the certificate of completion only if you reside in one of the following counties: Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Hays, Lee, Llano, Travis and Williamson.

For participants residing outside of these counties, please contact our office at 512-385-1500 after you have completed the online class and we will email your certificate of completion.

Important Conditions:

All Housing Counseling sessions will be conducted via telephone until further notice.
Telephone appointments typically last 2.5 hours, but may take longer, based upon questions and information requested of the Counselor during the appointment.
Due to the volume of clients, housing counseling appointments are scheduled between 10 – 15 business days (or longer during the holidays) after the completion date of your homebuyer education class. Please note that if there is a cancellation, or if there is a reduction in the volume of clients, your appointment can be scheduled sooner than the time frame noted above.
We are unable to accommodate “emergency” counseling appointment requests. Your counseling appointment will be scheduled at the next available time.
If your lender requires the certificate of completion, please plan your home purchase closing date accordingly.
After you have completed the online class you must contact Frameworks CDC to schedule your one-on-one housing counseling session, if you reside in one of the counties listed above.
