Jonesboro - Clayton County's Office of
Neighborhood Stabilization is continuing with its aggressive
housing revitalization initiative targeting potential homebuyers
despite the current distressed housing market across the country
and in the county. On Saturday, June 4, 2011, from 10:00 a.m. -
2:00 p.m. a County Housing Fair will take place at Starr Park
located on 803 Forest Parkway, Forest Park, GA.
The Office of Neighborhood Stabilization has been quite
successful in its efforts to place families in Clayton County
homes, and as a result of their national recognized program, HUD
has provided the county's Neighborhood Stabilization Program with
additional funds to continue with its home placement initiative.
Partnering with several local organizations including, Southern
Crescent Habitat for Humanity, the Metro South Association of
Realtors, and The Empire Board of Realtists, the Office of
Neighborhood Stabilization will host a fair with a little something
for everyone.
The Housing Fair will provide those interested in purchasing a
home in Clayton County with an opportunity to receive an update on
HUD foreclosed houses along with information on special NSP homes
and non-NSP homes. Additionally, there will be information
available regarding down payment assistance for Clayton County
properties. Mortgage lenders will be on-site to discuss special
loan programs that are available for the purchase of homes in
Clayton County, and real estate agents will have information on the
best housing buys in metro Atlanta. Home Depot and Lowes will also
be on hand to offer home repair and improvement tips that will
range from creating a colorful, sustainable garden to how to repair
sheetrock. In addition to the recreational activities already
available at Starr Park there will be plenty of special events for
children. Habitat for Humanity will even construct a "mini house"
on-site that will be donated to a local area children's special
needs program upon its completion.
