In today’s market, owning a home can be just as affordable as renting. Would you rather pay yourself instead of a landlord? Are you wondering if you can get approved for a mortgage? Would you like to know what first-time homebuyer programs are available?
This year, SHED and its financial partners offered a free, four-part education series on home ownership. The final session, “Seasonal Home Maintenance,” took place in November and featured Eric Mitchell of Great Southern Bank.


SHED’s 2025 Annual Community Meeting will be held from 6-7:30 pm on Tuesday, November 18, at the University City Public Library.
