Mayor Richard M. Daley, Alderman Ray Suarez, 31^st Ward and the Department of Community Development present a Housing Resource Fair! The Fair will be held on

April 17, 2010 at Falconer School, 3020 N. Lamon Ave., from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

This day residents will be given the opportunity to discuss various options available for homeowners who may be going through distress in keeping up with their mortgages or seek to refinance; this is a great opportunity to seek assistance and consulting through the various financial institutions that will be available at the event. Furthermore, I encourage everyone interested in learning how to purchase, finance and maintain a home to attend.

For more information you may also contact the 31^st Ward office at 773-276-9100.
