Aimed specifically at first-time buyers, the free event will provide information on all of the exciting government programs available for the low and moderate-income home buyers in the Orange County area.

Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about the home buying process, how to qualify for a home loan, updates to federal, state and local government home buying assistance programs, overcoming the common barriers to home ownership and local real estate market forecasts.
