The United Way of Northwest Indiana invites people interested in buying their first (or next) homes to a vendor fair April 27.
“This really is a one-stop-shop of information and contacts for anyone interested in buying their first or next home, and we know home ownership can help build the kind of generational wealth that can build up communities,” said Adam O’Doherty, United Way of NWI president and CEO, in a press release.
Prospective buyers will be able to interact with real estate agents and real estate agents, lenders and home appraisers. Buyers can explore homeownership opportunities and learn about down payment assistance programs, home financing and mortgage pre-approval. They can also get tips on buying and moving into their new homes and enter drawings for prizes from Home Depot, Lowes and Meijer.
The vendor fair, which is free to the public, will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 27 at the Lake County Public Library (main branch) in Merrillville. More information is available by emailing Kelly DeCamp, United Way NWI regional development executive, at kelly@unitedwaynwi.org.
The United Way of Northwest Indiana is based in Valparaiso. The nonprofit organization works to address urgent housing, food, childcare and health care needs in the community. The United Way of NWI serves Lake, Porter, La Porte, Newton, Jasper and Starke counties.
