Chattanooga to hold Housing Sustainability Fair this weekend

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – The City of Chattanooga is holding its Housing Sustainability Fair on Saturday, January 27.

It will take place at the downtown public library located on Broad Street.

Current homeowners will learn about resources relating to home improvements, utility relief, credit counseling and estate planning.

City representatives are making sure residents have all the skills they need to meet the challenges of home ownership.

“Things come up when you’re a homeowner, something breaks, your insurance rate goes up, or you realize that you want to downsize,” said Sydney Shivers, Chattanooga Director of Housing Policy. “Our goal here is to make sure that folks have the contact information and relationships to help them navigate those decisions and changes.”

Speakers will also address issues affecting affordable housing, like financial wellbeing and housing maintenance.

The fair will last from 11 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
