COME HOME:  “The Home Buying Process”

 

On March 29th the City of Houston Mayor’s Office and the Greater Houston Builders Association hosted COME HOME: “The Home Buying Process”. It was an unprecedented event providing Houstonians with a wealth of information on the home buying process.

Over seventy-five exhibitors participated including builders, lenders, resource agencies, and housing counseling agencies. These exhibitors provided one-on-one consultation for those who attended.  People were given the opportunity to discuss credit issues, resource options, lending options, and an opportunity to choose their dream home.

A comprehensive forum provided the following information to those who attended:

  • The home buying process
  • Harris County Community Services Department
  • City of Houston Homebuyer Assistance Program
  • South Eat Texas Housing Finance Corporation Bond Programs
  • The Importance of Housing Agencies
  • B’Free Credit Counseling

The Mayor’s Office has received calls from those who could not attend asking for information. Please feel free to contact the City of Houston’s Housing and Community Development Department at 713-522-HOME (4663) or go to their web site at www.houstonhousing.org.
