Drawing for a HOME Give A Way!
There's no place like home, and there's no better time than right now to buy one! If you've always wanted to own your own home, why not act now? Interest rates are at or near their all-time low, there are lots of great houses available, and the Greater Louisville Home Ownership Expo will be here soon to open doors for you.
Presented by the Louisville Urban League's Housing Services and Neighborhood Revitalization Department, the Expo is aimed at first-time home seekers and homeowners in all price ranges, from low-income to high - anyone who's thinking about taking the plunge or has just taken it.
