In September, NeighborWorks delivered the final place-based training sponsored by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago in 2017. The course, Homeownership Counseling Certification: Principles, Practices and Techniques, Part I, which is required for organizations to fully adopt the National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling (NIS), was offered in both Chicago and Madison. A total of 37 individuals attended, representing 27 unique organizations. The FHLBank Chicago is committed to expanding the network of quality homeownership educators and counselors working in our district. Thank you to NeighborWorks and all who participated.
