Host a first-time home buyer fair
Housing instability is a primary obstacle for families seeking to rise out of poverty. There is often a dearth of information available for individuals to determine their options.
Help break down barriers to home ownership for individuals living below the NPPS by hosting an educational first-time home buyer fair.
To get started:
Identify a location for the event, such as your meeting space, a public library, or a community center. Consider hosting a virtual fair when applicable.
Collaborate with government and nonprofits organizations and connect with mortgage specialists and realtors who will volunteer their expertise.
Plan to have various booths where individuals can discuss financial inquiries, such as housing markets, the pros and cons of home ownership, and loan options.
