Course overview
Lesson Overview
5.14 – Planning for Long-Term Housing Goals: Think beyond survival housing toward ownership or independence. Set progressive goals for saving and credit repair. Research rent-to-own or subsidized step-up programs. Track payment history to strengthen applications. Learn about home maintenance to reduce costs later. Budget for insurance, taxes, and emergencies. Build supportive networks of neighbors and community allies. Keep long-term housing aligned with employment location. Review goals every six months for realism. Planning transforms short stays into permanent roots.
