The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently launched a new, comprehensive website to assist Americans with improving financial literacy, sustaining healthy homeownership and achieving financial security. The My Money, My Home, My Future website (http://portal.hud.gov/portal/page?_pageid=73,7620944&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL) provides a range of interactive resources to inform users about the importance of financial literacy, including a Self-Assessment Tool, online games and informative classes.
The new site provides a wide-range of information about all avenues needed to be successful on the road to greater financial education, including:
* Building a Financial Foundation;
* Sustaining Healthy Homeownership; and
* Achieving Financial Security.
One of the most unique features of this website is the Self-Assessment Tool. The Self-Assessment Tool provides an extensive guide to help users learn more about personalized options for purchasing and/or refinancing their home. Users will be prompted to answer a few questions. Based on the answers given, the Self-Assessment Tool lists numerous links to visit on-line to learn more about the necessary and correct steps to own a home, refinance a home, enhance their financial skills, and much more.
Some of the other links on My Money, My Home, My Future give detailed information about:
* 9 Steps to Buying a Home
* Housing Counselors and Lenders
* Banking, Credit and Building Wealth
* Foreclosure Process and Alternatives
* Refinancing Loans and FHA Insured Loans
This new site is also located on www.HUD.gov and www.FHA.gov both in easy to find locations on the main web pages.
