Annual Homebuyers Fair slated June 7

Each year across the United States, local communities have gathered during the first week in June to celebrate National Homeownership Week. This event is free of cost to the general public.

Faith Based Community Development Corporation, a nonprofit tax-exempt community based organization based in Oceanside, pioneers the efforts for the residents of North San Diego County to celebrate National Homeownership Week in their own back yard at Palomar College in San Marcos. FBCDC will host the 4th Annual North County Homebuyers Fair on Saturday, June 7, 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. The program represents a public and private partnership between the nonprofit, the business community and the cities of Vista, Oceanside, San Marcos, Escondido, and the County of San Diego. Those attending the event will be eligible to enter a drawing to win $2,500 toward the down payment for a home.

The one-day event brings together on one site, real estate professionals, bankers, mortgage companies, credit counselors and representatives from the various housing departments of the North County communities with resources to help educate first time homebuyers on how to realize their dream of homeownership.

The North County Homebuyers Fair will again include the very popular “How to find Money at City Hall” workshop which features presentations from the local housing department staffs.

FBCDC continues to pursue its commitment each year to assist the residents of North County to achieve their dream of homeownership through increased access to resources through education and knowledge. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. For more information, call (760) 435-0600.
