Public Classes in the Community
The classes listed below are open to the general public. This list is updated as instructors from partnered agencies inform the Rent Well Program of upcoming classes. Classes have limited space, so check back often. Please note that some agencies may charge a minimal fee, which will be listed.
Although there are 70+ agencies teaching the Rent Well course, most agencies only offer the course to their current or past participants. If you are working with a non-profit, case manager, or social services agency, feel free to ask them if their agency teaches Rent Well courses. You can see a list of all the agencies that are current Community Partners HERE.
