In celebration of National Homeownership Month, the Near Northwest Neighborhood, Inc. (NNN) will take part in the national campaign to help raise awareness of homeownership. On Saturday, June 12th from 9 am-12 pm the NNN will hold the 2010 Housing Fair at the NNN offices, located at 1005 Portage Ave. The NNN’s goal is to work in partnership with a number of organizations and businesses in order to better educate potential and current homeowners about homeownership. Participants at the event will range from housing counselors to lending institution to realtors; all will have information available about resources and programs available to help residents achieve the dream of homeownership. Admission and parking are free.

In 2002, the month of June was designated National Homeownership Month as an initiative to enhance the nation’s commitment to equal housing opportunities. The purpose of the month long campaign is to: educate consumers about the home buying process, help homeowners who are in trouble to ensure a house remains both a home and a secure and stable investment, to encourage both potential and current homebuyers to learn about the responsibilities that come with homeownership, and increase awareness of the role homeownership plays in helping families build wealth and strengthen their communities.
