A free housing empowerment workshop will take place in Palm Coast to assist residents with home buying, budgeting, and credit repair. The event aims to provide practical tools for both first-time buyers and existing homeowners. Topics will include strategies for improving credit scores and understanding mortgage processes. Local organizers emphasized the event’s focus on actionable advice rather than theoretical concepts.
The workshop will be held at the Palm Coast Community Center on Saturday, March 16, from 10 a.m. to noon. Attendees can expect hands-on guidance on creating home improvement budgets and navigating real estate contracts. No prior financial knowledge is required to participate.
Workshop leaders include licensed real estate agents and certified credit counselors from Brevard County. One attendee, Maria Gonzalez, a first-time homebuyer, said the event will help her 'avoid common mistakes' during the purchase process. organizers have partnered with the Brevard Housing Authority to provide free one-on-one consultations after the main session.
The event is part of a broader initiative by the Palm Coast Development Corporation to increase homeownership rates in the area. Similar workshops were held in 2023, with over 200 participants reporting improved financial confidence. Registration is required but free, with limited seats available. Details can be found on the city’s website or by calling the community center directly.
