The City of Wilmington’s Housing and Neighborhood Services division has announced the upcoming Affordable Lending Fair, scheduled for Saturday, June 29th at the MLK Center from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. The event aims to provide resources, information, and support to residents seeking affordable lending options.
Sponsored by the City of Wilmington, SouthState Bank, and First Bank, the fair will feature representatives from local banks dedicated to offering affordable lending solutions. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore various lending options, including low-interest loans, first-time homebuyer programs, and down payment assistance. Additionally, HOP Certified Real Estate Brokers will be available to answer questions regarding the homebuying process.
"Our goal with the Affordable Lending Fair is to bring awareness to affordable lending options for low- to moderate-income individuals and families," said Tanita Wallace, Sr. Community Development Analyst. "Most homebuyers don’t realize that down payment assistance may be available to them; we want to inform them so that they make the best financial decision for their families when it comes to purchasing a home."
The event is free and open to the public with no registration required.
Community members are invited to join the Affordable Lending Fair and take advantage of this opportunity to learn, connect, and grow. For more information about the event, please contact Tanita Wallace at 910.341.7836 or Tanita.Wallace@wilmingtonnc.gov.
