The name of the housing game isn't necessarily convincing people to buy their first home, but to keep people in their current ones during this time of falling home prices and foreclosures.
"It's been such an issue in the last two years," says Kathy Williams, supervisor of housing counseling and homeless services for Oakland County.
It's why Oakland County is hosting another My Home – My Future Home Ownership Retention seminar on Monday, Sept. 21. The event will focus on preventing home foreclosure and the falling home prices, shrinking tax base, and blight that often come with it. Attendees will be able to learning about budgeting, credit, and refinancing among other subjects.
The seminar is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the Dublin Community Center, 685 Union Lake Road in White Lake. It is free and open to all Oakland County homeowners. For information, call Oakland County Housing Counseling at (888) 350-0900 ext. 85402.
