NWSP Housing Resource Fair & Tour

Saturday, September 16, Near West Side Partners (NWSP) held its second annual Housing Resource Fair & Tour at Highland Community School.

During the event, 24 organizations gathered to help homeowners and guests gain insights about home improvements, and the different housing resources available to them for purchasing a home. There was also a workshop offered, informing guests about special homeownership programs, homeowners and renters’ insurance, along with offering tips on how to make home renovations and choose a contractor.

In addition to the seminar, an open house tour was available. This self-guided tour featured a variety of homes for sale in the near west side including, “fixer uppers” and “move in ready” homes. By the end of the event, raffle prizes were awarded to guests.

NWSP is truly a “Neighborhood of Neighborhoods,” working to empower and better the community through events such as this, making resources available to homeowners and interested home buyers, helping them make informed decisions on the opportunities open to them.

Near West Side Partners could not have made this wonderful event possible without the help of the 24 organizations who attended.
