The 14th annual Northern Virginia Housing Expo will be held on Saturday, March 23. The Expo is free and open to the public and will run between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Charles J. Colgan High School, 13833 Dumfries Road, Manassas.

More information can be found in a Prince William County press release:

Visitors to the Housing Expo will have the opportunity to attend workshops that will provide them with valuable information about the housing market, including:

  • The ABCs of credit scores
  • Household budgeting in expensive times
  • Getting ready to rent or buy
  • First-time buyer and rental assistance programs
  • Housing discrimination – understanding fair housing laws
  • Senior housing topics
  • Neighborhood housing rehabilitation program
  • Reverse mortgages

The Housing Expo will also include dozens of exhibits featuring apartment rentals, government assistance programs, mortgage information and assistance, and home-buying opportunities, as well as lenders who will be on hand to answer questions.

“Lenders will have information on different loan programs available and information on how to qualify for a mortgage loan,” said Prince William County Director of Housing and Community Development, Joan Duckett.

Consultants will also be at the Expo for 30-minute one-on-one sessions to help people find out more about what housing choices are right for them, whether they are looking for a place to rent or getting ready to buy a home.

The Housing Expo is a cooperative effort of Virginia Housing; the counties of Prince William, Fairfax, Arlington, and Loudoun; the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, and Manassas Park; the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors®; the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments; and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
