Houston, TX -
Representative Gene Green announced a Homebuyers Workshop in conjunction with State Representative Carol Alvarado, designed to provide information regarding tax credits for first-time buyers, information about the Neighborhood Stabilization and Down Payment Assistance Programs, and counseling for home purchasers for Saturday, September 9.
“Many first-time homebuyers do not know what resources are available to them that will help facilitate the purchase of their first home,” said Green. “This workshop will help those in our community gather information that will help them make the best decisions when buying their first home.”
Local counselors, realtors, and bank officers from the region will be present to answer questions and give advice. Representatives from the IRS will be present to explain the First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, the Department of Housing and Urban Development will present information regarding their Homebuyer Assistance Programs, and representatives from the City of Houston will be on hand to discuss their Down-Payment Assistance Initiatives.
“U.S. home sales rose more than expected in July to the highest point in more than two years, and our economy shows signs of recovery,” said Green. “The investments we made in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are starting to take hold, and the first-time homebuyers credit included in ARRA will help many families fulfill their dream of home ownership.”
