Why Is Student Loan Debt Such An Obstacle For Potential Homebuyers?

Last Date:

Did you know the average student loan balance among District residents is $55,000 and 20% of District residents have federal student loan debt?

Unfortunately, student loan debt continues to prevent residents from pursuing homeownership and building generational wealth.

Join us on Thursday, June 9 at 5 pm for a webinar featuring Student Loan Ombudsman and Mortgage Foreclosure Program Manager Ricardo Jefferson and Foreclosure Prevention and Mediation Administrator Ben Arnold to discuss student loan debt and the impact on mortgage affordability.
