Hammond Homeownership Fair

The National Association of Realtors has designated June as National Homeownership Month.  Hammond's Mayor, Mayson Foster, is a believer in the benefits of homeownership and has organized the Hammond Homeownership Fair.

Date: June 27th
Place: Hammond City Council Chambers (312 E. Charles St.)
Time: 12pm - 5pm

The event is free and open to all.

The focus of the Hammond Homeownership Fair is to emphasize how to become a homeowner.  The Hammond Homeownership Fair will provide you with information, resources and assistance.  Mortgage lenders, real estate agents and other real estate related industry representatives will be on hand for advice and to answer questions, all at no obligation.

Hammond has received funds from the American Dream Down Payment Initiative to help prospective buyers meet the minimum down payment requirements for a mortgage loan.  Lenders will be on hand to explain the program.

Homeownership Fair Highlights will include:

    * Mortgage Loans
    * Down Payment Assistance Programs
    * Applying the Tax Credit
    * Credit Counseling
    * Home Insurance
