Subject: [AAEA-MC] FW: County Residents Invited to Attend 12th Annual
Housing Fair and Financial Fitness Day

For Immediate Release:  March 26, 2012

County Residents Invited to Attend 12th Annual

Housing Fair and Financial Fitness Day

            The Montgomery County Department of Housing and Community
Affairs (DHCA), in partnership with the Montgomery County Housing Fair
Committee, will host the 12th Annual Montgomery County Housing Fair and
Financial Fitness Day on Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at
the Bohrer Park Activity Center, Summit Hall Farm, 506 S. Frederick
Ave., Gaithersburg.  County residents with questions about housing
resources and programs are invited and encouraged to attend.

            This year's fair will offer loan modifications on site, as
well as free foreclosure prevention counseling, free credit reports and
analysis, guidance for people looking for affordable rental properties,
information on avoiding housing scams and information on the legal
implications of housing problems, including the tax consequences of
short sales.  In addition, homeowners interested in refinancing and
homeowners who have been foreclosed upon can find out if they meet the
criteria for financial assistance under a recent settlement between the
Maryland Office of the Attorney General; the Department of Labor,
Licensing and Regulation's Office of the Commissioner of Financial
Regulation; the federal government; and five leading bank mortgage
services.

            Sponsors and exhibitors - local housing providers, realtors,
property managers, businesses, banks, credit unions, government
agencies, community organizations and nonprofits - still have time to
register.  Sponsors will receive special recognition and publicity
benefits as well as prime booth space at the fair for displaying their
promotional materials.  Exhibitors are encouraged to register before
April 6 to receive a reduced rate.  Last year more than 90 sponsors and
exhibitors participated and more than 1,000 people attended.

"We are receiving numerous calls about mortgage-related financial
assistance made available by the federal government," said Myriam
Torrico, DHCA administrator of Community Programs.  "Fairgoers will have
the opportunity to receive information about federal, state and local
housing initiatives and learn whether they qualify.  Another important
component of the fair is financial literacy.  Information about free
financial education classes and free accounts will be distributed at the
fair by Bank On Gaithersburg."  A program run by the City of
Gaithersburg in conjunction with area banks, Bank On Gaithersburg offers
free bank accounts to eligible customers. 

            In addition to DHCA, the Housing Fair Planning Committee
includes the cities of Gaithersburg, Rockville and Takoma Park; Asian
American Homeownership Counseling; Housing and Community Initiatives,
Inc.; Housing Initiative Partnership, Inc.; Housing Opportunities
Commission; Latino Economic Development Corporation; Maryland Department
of Housing and Community Development; Montgomery County Department of
Health and Human Services; Montgomery County Office of Human Rights; and
the office of U.S. Congressman Chris Van Hollen.

            To become a sponsor or exhibitor, contact Myriam Torrico at
240-777-3627 or email myriam.torrico at montgomerycountymd.gov.
