State Employees Homebuying Workshop
Nevada Housing Division’s Steps to Homeownership sessions are designed to empower state employees on their path to becoming homeowners. These sessions cover the key components of the homebuying process and provide the knowledge and tools needed to achieve homeownership.
Owning a home helps stabilize living costs, build equity, and create a space you can truly call your own. It also strengthens neighborhoods, supports our local economy, and fosters a greater sense of community and belonging. In this session, we will review the Home Is Possible (HIP) program and participants will receive a Homebuyer Education Certificate upon completion.
Join our 1-hour “Steps to Homeownership” live webinar to learn about the homebuying process. This session will cover:
- Home is Possible down payment assistance programs
- Working with lenders and real estate agents
- Understanding credit
- Exploring mortgage options
- Making an offer and navigating negotiations
- Understanding appraisals and home inspections
- What to expect at closing and after you move in

Frequently Asked Questions
Individual Homebuyer Education Sessions
If I sign up for a Nevada Housing Division session, will my credit report be accessed?
We will only access your credit if it is relevant to your financial counseling and will only do so with your permission. We only use one credit reporting agency, Experian.
Would my credit score be negatively impacted if I provide approval for the credit report to be pulled by NHD?
A soft inquiry — also called a soft pull — allows a financial counselor to review your credit report and credit score to get a sense of how well you are managing your credit. It will not negatively impact your score.
Are these sessions confidential?
Yes, information discussed in the session is not reported to anyone unless otherwise disclosed or agreed to by you.
