HUD, city work to help Memphians buy homes | Events

(WMC-TV) – Later this month, the city will team up with the federal government to help prospective homebuyers find the house of their dreams.

June is the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s National Homeownership Month. To help celebrate, a Homeownership Housing Expo will be held at the Raleigh Springs Mall on Saturday, June 23 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program tries to help stabilize communities that are being affected by abandoned homes and foreclosures.

Although the meeting is being held in Raleigh, the NSP is available to any Memphian who meets certain requirements.

There are currently 10 zip codes with homes eligible for purchase through the program:

• 38106
