Ventura County Community Development Corporation (VCCDC)

HOME BUYING EDUCATION

Since lack of information can be one of the biggest obstacles to home ownership, we provide home buying education webinars as well as an online resource tool to help your employees on their path to home ownership. Our annual home buying fairs provide the information,
tools and resources to navigate the complex home buying process. Sign up for a webinar.
