My credit union offers one every six months. Open to the public. Call your local housing authority. They would likely know if there are any upcoming in your area.

Housing counseling agencies hold them. There are several around here. You could google local housing counselors or HUD approved housing counselors and probably find some

True. However, I would be cautious using the lenders associated with these programs because they typically charge more in closing costs and a higher rate because most of the consumers that attend these particular seminars are getting housing down payment assistance.

Shop your lender.  Don't pay more unless you are getting the down payment assistance.
