HECAT Funding Awards Announced
The State of Minnesota is unique in that we are the only state in the country with a dedicated pool of funds that provides financial support to eligible non-profit organizations to deliver a variety of homebuyer/homeowner education, counseling and training services to Minnesotans. This dedicated pool is known as HECAT (The Homeownership Education, Counseling and Training Fund).
Some of the valuable services that are funded through HECAT include:
- Pre-purchase education and counseling (Home Stretch),
- Post-purchase education and counseling,
- Home equity conversion counseling (Reverse Mortgages) and
- Foreclosure counseling
Funds for HECAT come from four funding partners that are fully invested in ensuring that Minnesotans have access to the education and counseling tools necessary to achieve successful home ownership:
Each of the four funding partners not only contribute financial resources they also actively participate in the grant-making process.
