The MMA will host a webinar with the Massachusetts Housing Partnership on Dec. 15 to discuss the partnership’s Down Payment Assistance Guidebook.
Meeting the housing needs of a community requires a variety of tools, and down payment assistance is one tool that can make the difference in determining whether a buyer can realize their dream of homeownership. The MHP’s Down Payment Assistance Guidebook is intended to support communities that want to provide more homeownership resources.
The webinar will review the guide as well as local case studies from Lowell, Newburyport and Great Barrington.
Featured speakers will include:
• Annaly Monteiro-Serena, senior program coordinator of homeownership, Massachusetts Housing Partnership
• Susanne Cameron, associate director of homeownership, Massachusetts Housing Partnership
• Cathy Mercado, executive director, Merrimack Valley Housing Partnership
• Drew Shapiro, co-chair, Newburyport Affordable Housing Trust Fund
• Fred Clark, co-chair, Great Barrington Affordable Housing Trust Fund
Online registration is available for the 75-minute webinar, which will begin at noon. Only MMA members may register. MMA members include elected officials and municipal employees from MMA member communities across the state. Media members are not permitted to attend.
