Homeownership workshops are a great place to start your home buying process. These free classes provide an overview – from understanding your credit report to preparing for a home closing. Attending a workshop and/or one-on-one counseling may be required in order to be eligible for certain closing cost assistance and grant down-payment programs.
Please select a workshop based on where you plan to buy your home.
If you are buying in Baltimore City and would like to complete a qualifying workshop at your own convenience online visit the e-Home portal.
Starting May 1st 2025, we will not be giving refunds to individuals on e-Home. Please give us a call if you have any questions or concerns.

One-on-ones & Appointment Scheduling:
Attention please, BENI does not conduct rush or emergency one-on-one appointments for clients. Once our intake specialist receives all of the needed & mandatory documents, the review process starts which can take up to 48-72 hours and then you will receive an email with the upcoming availability which can be up to two weeks out. We do not recommend clients to put a contract on a property until they complete the first steps of the process which is education (the workshop) and your one-on-one. If you are applying for grants that can also add additional days to the process (15-60 days). If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach as at 410-485-8422.
