The Housing Partnership: Strengthening Communities
and Families through Home Ownership
|
Unique Home Buyers Expo
Features Free Workshops |
There are lots of Housing Expos advertised, but none like the Housing Partnership's Home Buyers Expo at County College of Morris on Saturday, April 17 from Noon to 4 p.m. Free admission - free parking - and free workshops! Plus the opportunity to visit 30 exhibitors, including representatives from more than 20 Banks and Realtors, plus HUD, USDA, HMFA and other housing experts. Because the Housing Partnership is a United Way Agency there will be no sales pressure at the Expo. This is the 17th Annual Expo held by the Partnership.

Home Ownership Preservation Efforts |
 Bad things happen to good people, and the result is that many people are facing the possibility of foreclosure. The Partnership, in collaboration with Money Management Inter-national and Legal Services of Northwest Jersey, is holding free pre-foreclosure workshops, "Keeping the Dream of Home Ownership Alive," each quarter in 2010. Sponsorship is provided by Hudson City Savings Bank.
The seminars provide home owners with information about the foreclosure process, foreclosure prevention options and how to avoid rescue scams. According to participants, the workshop "gave me a clear understanding of foreclosure procedures, steps and time lines." Another indicated that the presenters "educated me on the process and provided me with options." The next workshop is scheduled for April 22 at the Sparta Presbyterian Church. To register call 973-659-9222 or email contact@hpnj.us. |
Home$mart - Learning the Tax Benefits |
