Summary
A Neighborhood Housing representative announced an annual housing fair for Saturday at South Suburban College offering workshops on homebuying, delinquency prevention, tax exemptions, lending options, information on Cook County's homeowners relief fund and free flu and COVID-19 vaccinations from Walgreens.
A Neighborhood Housing representative announced that Neighborhood Housing will host its annual housing fair this coming Saturday at South Suburban College, with the event running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and workshops beginning at 9:45 a.m.
The announcement said the fair will include workshops on homebuyer education ("Homebuyers 101"), mortgage delinquency prevention and homeowner support resources, a fire-safety presentation that will emphasize the importance of insurance, and a lending panel addressing purchase and refinancing options. The representative said Cassandra Hobert of Thornton Township will speak about property tax exemptions.
Organizers also plan to include a presentation on Cook County's homeowners relief fund to explain eligibility and how to apply for assistance for residents who live in Cook County. Walgreens will provide free flu shots and COVID-19 vaccinations at the fair; organizers advised attendees that COVID-19 shots "might have to apply to your insurance" and asked people to bring their insurance card.
The representative said flyers are available and that information will be posted on Neighborhood Housing's website; they also mentioned prizes and the presence of additional vendors and community resources at the event.
The announcement was made during a short agenda item and did not include a specific calendar date beyond "this coming Saturday." No formal action or vote was taken during the meeting on the event.
