SAN DIEGO – Assembly Member Lori Saldaña (D-San Diego) will host "Home Buying 101" on Wednesday November 2nd, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the North Park Recreation Center, 4044 Idaho Street in San Diego.

The event is aimed at first-time homebuyers looking for information on down-payment assistance, below-market fixed-rate loans, assistance for veterans and their families. Information will also be available about current state legislation geared to enhance housing affordability for moderate- and low-income families.

"A lot of people looking to buy their first home don't know where to start or what assistance is available, Saldaña said. "This workshop is designed to give them access to the information they need to navigate the complexities of buying a home in the San Diego housing market."

Saldaña said the information would be useful to anyone planning on buying a home.

Among the participants will be representatives from the San Diego Housing Commission, the California Housing Finance Authority, and the San Diego Association of Realtors.

To RSVP or for more information, please call (619) 645-3090.

Assembly Member Lori Saldaña represents the 76th Assembly District.
