Ready, Set, Close! First-Time Home Buyer Event

Qualifying homebuyers and home builders interested in Henrico County’s affordable housing initiative can get information on how to participate and ask questions about available homes at “Ready, Set, Close!” on Thursday, Sept. 24.

The information fair is scheduled for 4 to 7 p.m. at Deep Run Recreation Center, 9900 Ridgefield Parkway. The event is free and will be held as an open house. Attendees are welcome to arrive at any time.

Prospective homebuyers will be able to meet with staff from the county’s nonprofit partners including Partnership for Housing Affordability, Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) of Virginia, the Maggie Walker Community Land Trust, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Virginia, Richmond Habitat for Humanity and Virginia Housing to discuss homeownership programs.

Attendees also can learn about homes that are available or soon will be through the Henrico Affordable Housing Trust Fund from the program’s home builder partners, including Stanley Martin Homes, HHHunt Homes, StyleCraft Homes, Ryan Homes, Center Creek Homes and D.R. Horton.

Home builders and developers are also welcome to attend to learn more about incentives Henrico can offer for-profit and nonprofit builders to develop quality, affordable housing in the county.
