The Fundamentals of Buying and Owning a Home

June is Homeowner Empowerment Month in New York City. To this end, HPD is collaborating with community partners to host a series of annual Housing Fairs in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island and Queens. This year's fairs will focus on "The Fundamentals of Buying and Owning a Home". Each housing fair is planned to educate the public about the home buying process and homeownership in general with a special focus on the foreclosure crisis. Workshops designed to empower prospective home buyers and current homeowners will be facilitated by HPD to provide attendees with the tools and resources to buy, improve and remain in their homes.
