Goodwill Manasota recently received a grant of $4,000 from BankUnited for the Homebuyer's Club program. These funds will support Goodwill's efforts to assist employees who wish to purchase a home. Goodwill's Homebuyer's Club prepares Goodwill employees for home ownership through a long-term program offering education, workshops, and credit counseling. It also provides budgeting counseling for families to ensure successful home ownership and helps employees who achieve mortgage pre-approval to purchase new or renovated homes offered through standard real estate channels. "At Goodwill, we offer a one-on-one pre-purchase and post-purchase counseling program, as well as education and coaching to team members interested in becoming first-time homebuyers," added Margie Genter, vice president of Goodwill Manasota. "We are grateful to BankUnited for its contribution toward helping our employees to achieve the 'American Dream' of home ownership.For more information about Goodwill, call 941-355-2721 or go to experiencegoodwill.org.
