ACORN Housing Corp. held a Homebuyer Fair at Shadydale Elementary School Saturday.
There are literally thousands of families and individuals in Houston who are not aware of or have an idea of where to look for sources, ways, means of buying a home, according to information and discussed in a recent meeting with Juan V. Perales, Housing Development Project Manager with Houstons ACORN Housing Corp.
According to Perales, these are often individuals who by way of varied circumstances, fall through the socio-economic cracks of society, going through life with one lifestyle, that is Apartment Dwelling.
Recognizing that an apartment lifestyle does not mean it is an inferior one, but families who have less than a single family home for a lifetime, that element of pride and dignity that generally comes with homeownership can make a significant difference in a childs choices and ambitions due to environmental factors alone.
ACORN Housing Corp., a major faction of Houstons affordable Housing field sponsored its Northeast House Buying Fair to give low to moderate income working families the opportunity to become home owners.
The fair was designed to help potential homeowners get into the loop of resources they need. Participants had an opportunity to meet with representatives from the City of Houston as well as banking partners of ACORN.
Representatives from the City of Houstons Homebuyer Assistance Program (HAP) conducted workshops to explain how to qualify for the Citys Down payment assistance Program. The level of assistance ranges from $10,000.00 to $30,000.00 to eligible families who qualify. This level of assistance is free money in a form of a Grant. Individuals can find out how to qualify at this workshop.
